In VS2010 when my intellisense (for C#) pops up the first selected item is not highlighted. This means i have to press down/up-arrow before i press dot/enter/parenthesis to get the full word.
This only happens with the new intellisense (the one that searches everywhere and not only in the beginning).
Also, how do i switch between the old and new intellisense? This seems to happen automatically sometimes so i guess there's some hotkey i keep pressing all the time without knowing.
You can go to Edit -> IntelliSense -> Toggle Completion Mode. I thought there was a keyboard shortcut for it, but it appears not on my current installation... that may be a side-effect of installing ReSharper though. You can always set a shortcut if you want one, of course.

I have a lot of experience as an Intellij developer where the enter key will always insert the first auto-complete suggestion. In visual studio with resharper however, the enter key will create a new line instead of inserting the first intellisense suggestion. Can anyone suggest a way to allow the enter key to replicate the Intellij behavior? I know pressing the tab key behaves as expected by my muscle memory keeps pressing enter without me thinking about it.

In your side, you have installed Resharper, so you have two ways to use Intellisense: Visual Studio Intellisense which is the default way for Visual Studio, Resharper Intellisense.
1) If you use Visual Studio Intellisense(make sure you choose Visual Studio by the top menu ReSharper-->Options-->Environment-->Intellisense-->General) and face this issue, please try this:
choose Never add new line on enter by Tools-->Options-->Text Editor-->C#(please choose the corresponding development language)-->Intellisense-->Enter Key Behavior.
2) If you use Resharper Intellisense(make sure you choose Resharper by the top menu ReSharper-->Options-->Environment-->Intellisense-->General), you will not face this issue.
Note: if you face this issue in Resharper Intellisense, l think it is the issue about some changes in Resharper Option.You can try to reset Resharper settings by Resharper-->Manage Options-->Reset all settings.
Hope it could help you.
Just a quick update for the previously posted answer as I noticed the location has changed slightly as of now. I found this option (using Visual Studio Intellisense) under:
Tools menu > Text Editor > C/C++ (or whatever language you are using) > Advanced > IntelliSense section > set Member List Commit Aggressive to True.
I would like Visual Studio to autocomplete the current entry in the intellisense menu only when I hit tab.
Autocompletion being triggered, for example, when I press a period, is forcing me to hit escape every time I'm writing something that cannot yet be autocompleted, to avoid that what I'm typing gets replaced with a random entry.
Is there an option to configure this?
I'm using Visual Studio 2015, and programming in C#.
Example: here I'm typing Log, which is a class for which I haven't yet added the appropriate using statement. None of the suggestions is the good one. If I hit . now, the autocomplete feature will write EventLogProcessor, which is not what I want.
Please note that this question has nothing to do with VIM, this is not a duplicate of the question linked at the top.
Use Toggle Between suggestion and Standard completion mode option of visual studio .. It will now only suggest .. and if you press Tab it will complete your choice ..
Edit -> IntelliSense -> Toggle
For Visual Studio 2012, from the Menu Bar,
Select Tools -> Options
In the left pane, expand Text Editor -> C#
Select InteliSense
The characters that commit are listed in a text box
So I've seen a couple of questions about Visual Studio's Ctrl+Tab but none of them were referring to my problem
My Visual Studio will randomly start acting funny. Sometimes, when I hit on Ctrl+Tab to change tab, the navigation pane appears for half a second an disappears. If I hold Ctrl+Tab, it'll just appear and disappear constantly, disappearing too early to even switch one tab. When it disappears it gives the keyboard focus back to whichever document I was on (so no other program actually intercepts the focus)
Then it will randomly accept my Ctrl+Tab and stay on screen once every X tries for some reason.
I double-checked my Visual Studio parameters (which have never changed) and the shortcuts are correctly set: Ctrl+Tab to Window.NextDocumentWindowNav and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to Window.PreviousDocumentWindowNav. I try removing them and resetting them with no success.
Anyone ever had this problem? I don't know what is intercepting my Ctrl+Ctrl+Tab. When I restart Visual Studio, it'll work fine again for a while until at some point Ctrl+Tab messes up again for no reason.
Anyone ever had this bug? Any tips on how to figure out what it's from and how to fix it? I'm on Visual Studio 2013. If it's any help, I also have Resharper 8.2.1 with it
Thanks!
EDIT
A few extra details:
Disabling Resharper doesn't remove the problem, still happens
I tried setting the NextDocumentPaneNav shortcut to another combination, bug still happened
So basically it's not another running program catching Ctrl+tab for some reason, it's literally Visual Studio not willing to show the navigation pane for more than a micro second
I like resharper fine, but with the new pricing, the trial ran out and I want to try life without it.
Except after disabling all the Resharper commands are still bound in my keyboard options! So ctrl+, doesn't fall back to the standard VS behavior because its bound to Resharper.Resharper_GotoRecentEdits which is, of course, disabled.
Even clicking Reset in the keyboard options does not remove the keybindings.
So what the heck. How do I get rid of all the resharper stuff? It is currently suspended and doesn't have a menu item.
This is Visual Studio 2015 with Resharper Ultimate trial
The following steps worked for me:
Disable ReSharper
In ReSharper's options -> Keyboard & Menus, select the Visual Studio scheme and click on Apply Scheme.
Mind the note under the Apply Scheme button: Click save to close the ReSharper Dialog and...
In TOOLS --> Options | Keyboard, make sure the right mapping scheme is selected (Visual C# 2005 for me) and click Reset and finally, Ok
That did the trick for me. opening the keyboard dialog once again and hitting Ctrl+, in the Press shortcut keys was no longer showing the key mapping to be bound to Resharper.Resharper_GotoRecentEdits
As per my comment on the initial post - it seems sometimes you have to uninstall ReSharper to remove the key bindings.
When I'm debugging in Visual Studio (up to 2012) and hovering over a variable to explore all the properties, I explicitly need to press the Expanding the Results View will enumerate the IEnumerable button on IEnumerables.
As I am inherintly lazy a superefficient coder I was hoping there was some kind of shortcut, like double clicking or a hotkey. Is there any?
Update
#Alex Essilfie has created a suggestion on Uservoice. Follow this link to vote it up before the VS2013 release!
You could install a commercial extension I created for Visual Studio called OzCode, which enhances the VS debugging experience and replaces Visual Studio's UI for the on-hover DataTip, and since I'm also a super-lazy coder, I decided not to require the user to click a separate button before he/she can expand the "Results View" node.
Another solution, which is not really more efficient but does not require using the mouse, is to hit Shift+F9 (to pop up the QuickWatch window) and then type in "cats,results" and then hit enter.
There may not be a default keyboard shortcut for this in VS, but if you go to Tools/Options then Environment/Keyboard, you can add a shortcut of your own for any command - if you can figure out which one you need...
