I'd like to achieve something similar to what IntelliJ is capable of. For example, if I type only a part of class' name in IntelliJ I get a list of suggestions for namespaces/packages. If I choose one of them - the class' name get autocompleted and appropriate package name gets added on top with import statement.
Now, when I try to do something similar in Visual Studio 2017 Community, it's a different story. Let's take System.Console class as an example.
- If I type "Cons" and press ctrl+space or alt+enter - I don't get any good suggestions
- If I type "Cons", add "using System" manually and press ctrl+space - I get the System.Console suggestion
- If I type "Conso" and press alt+enter - It basically behaves like IntelliJ - which means it appends the "using System" statement and autocompletes the class' name to Console. The option is the last one though, so I have to scroll through bunch of others (such as generate property, generate local etc.).
My question is - can I make Intellisense behave like in the 3rd case, but
- Make it work for shorter phrases (right now it kind of works for "Conso" but not for anything shorter)
- Make it so I get the "using" suggestions under ctrl+shift menu
- Prioritize the "using" option so it's on the top of the action list
What I tried:
- Enabled "Suggest usings for types (...)" under Text Editor -> C# -> Advanced
