Visual Studio 2013 C ++ IntelliSense

Question

I'm using visual studio 2013 C++ and my IntelliSense is a bit weird, for example, when I type con for const the IntelliSense selector is in const but it is not highlighted yet so I have to move the arrow down then hit enter. How can I make it similar to C# IntelliSense, like it will automatically choose const when I hit spacebar or enter?

Answer 1

You should press the TAB button instead. Whatever is in the selector is then gonna be typed in for you.

Like, in your example, when you typed con and the selector is in const , hit TAB and const will be typed in.

Answer 2

In VS2017 go to

Tools/Options/Text Editor/C/C++/Advanced/IntelliSense

and change

Member List Commit Aggressive to True
