I saw a blog post the other day that had a screen shot of intellisense's member list that looked like this: DateTime. -> [Compare(DateTime, DateTime) int] [DaysInMonth(int, int) int] ... Instead of mine which looks like: DateTime. -> [Compare ] [DaysInMonth] ... How do I ...

Problems with Netbeans re: Rails erb/rhtml intellisense?

I've been using Netbeans for Rails and like it a lot, considering how little I paid for it. But something that bothers me is that when I'm editing an RHTML or ERB file, it doesn't do the code autocomplete - or at least not reliably. Sometimes it shows the appropriate variables and methods that are available on an object after you type th...

Delphi code completion performance

I have a few large (~600k lines of code) Delphi projects. They include some custom components which our team has developed.

Python and Intellisense

What is the Intellisense Trigger in VS2005 emacs emulation mode?

I've enabled emacs keyboard mode in VS2005 and so far I'm in love. The only issue I've run into is I can't find the hot key that triggers the IntelliSense menu. C-j no longer does the trick as it's mapped to something else. So what is the emacs-mode IntelliSense trigger key? Secondly, how would one go about finding out what it is? ...

VB6 auto completion (intellisense) is suddenly taking forever...

VB6 just added a new "feature" right out of the blue: every time I declare a variable, property or function, when I reach the "as" keyword, VB has a fit and hogs the cpu for almost a minute. Anyone knows what this might be? I turned off all plugins (AxTools, MzTools), restarted VB, rebooted, and still nothing. This is incredibly annoyi...
