Visual Studio 2019 Watch Window: IntelliSense Completion

Question

The expected behavior when pressing enter on an IntelliSense suggestion in the Watch Window would be that the selected item is filled in and that I can continue typing .

Instead, the selection is filled in and then immediately executed so that I have to re-select the entry field each time.

This is obviously just a minor nuisance, but it would be great if someone knew how to change this behavior (or at least provide a shortcut that only enters the suggestion without immediately executing).

Answer

Actually , how to invoke Intellisense on Watch Window is quite different from the Code Editor. And Enter key under watch window is for executing the detection of the input content. Every time you click the enter key on the watch window, it will monitor the values that have been entered.

Suggestion

So if you want to continue the pop-up suggestions for certain content on the Watch Window , you should use Tab key.
