Can I make R# intellisense select the first list item?

Question

I'm using ReSharper 5.1 in VS2010, and I've been annoyed by the intellisense behavior for quite a while. It seems this is different since R# 4.5/VS2008, but I don't have that combo handy to verify.

Let's say I'm typing some code:

...
public Guid teamId { get; set; }
...

And later on I decide I want to make teamId a read-only property, so I go back to put private in front of set. As I start typing, I end up with this:

At this point, I have to either switch to the mouse or the arrow keys, or just finish typing private, which really defeats the purpose of this feature.

Is there a way to tell ReSharper to select an entry as soon as the Intellisense popup appears?

Press Ctrl+Space to have "pr" expanded to "private" If you press Ctrl+Space "before starting to type "pr", you'll get a completion list with all applicable options and a properly working focus over one of them.
