Hello, I have recently switched from Java development and Eclipse IDE to C# .NET and VisualStudio 2010. What I really miss is the Alt+/ Eclipse short-cut for word completion. I am NOT speaking about IntelliSense auto completion stuff. I mean, I would like the text editor to finish writing words that already exist somewhere in the document but will not show up in IntelliSense, e.g. string literals.

In Notepad++ it is the Ctrl+Enter short-cut. In Eclipse it is the aforementioned Alt+/

Can VS2010 do the same? If not by default, can anyone point me to a decent VB macro that I could plug into my VS2010 to do this?

Thank you.

No by default.

Don't know any that exists. But this could be a nice project to do.

Yes I would definitely used such plugin. Even better to have such plugin for Word/Outlook too, I'm always pressing Ctrl+Space when typing in my e-mails and get really upset when words are not autocompleted :)

I really can't mark this as an accepted answer. You didn't really help when I so think about it.
