Anyone knows if this is possible? I tried it in vs 2005 and 2008 and it doesn't do that. IMO this would be a very useful feature when I know I want to select the last item or an item that's closer to the end of the IntelliSense list.
A:
It's not possible. I hit Page Down repeatedly to get to the last item if absolutely needed. Normally I just hit the first letter of what I need next, then select it.

It's a shame. Have you seen in in vs 2010?

I think the wrap around effect would be less desirable, IMO.

Why? If I know to pick ToString, which is generally last, I would like to do it using the up arrow.

If I would like to pick ToString, I would like to do it by typing T. This would be much faster than hitting the up arrow in many cases. Think of the fact that (at least for C#) IntelliSense remembers the last entry selected, so pressing the up arrow would not lead you to the last entry.

continued: I think the "remember"-feature of IntelliSense is a much better time-saver than a cyclic scrolling would be.

I agree, but think of the cases where the IntelliSense list is brand new, say when you are overriding the ToString for several classes, then you don't get the last used item.
