Question

In Visual C# 2010 Express, if I type using S suggestions automatically popup:

In Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web using F#, if I type 'open S' nothing happens. I have to key ctrl-j in order to trigger suggestions:

Is there any way to get the former behavior in 2012? Ie not have to type ctrj-j for suggestions, but have them come up automatically?

Answer 1

The C# and F# Intellisense implementations are written by different teams and have different goals. In general the F# experience is more minimal than the C# one. For items like open they won't automatically popup an experience and you must manually invoke it. There is no way to change this behavior.
