Question: Is there a way to turn off auto-complete and use a hotkey to
activate it? There are a number of times my computer will just "pause"
trying to lookup a method name or something even though I did not pause
waiting for it. This is a little annoying as when I am in a groove it
is
disturbing to type a full 4 words and not see anything while it is
looking
up a method name I have already passed 2 words ago. (so to speak).
If the answer is no, that would be a great feature. Most of the time I
know
the method name/parameters, but the rare occasions I need help it
would be
good to just hit a key and have it "do its thing."
I agree but would add another twist. What I'd like is for the lookup to
be on a non-UI thread and if any of several kinds of events occur in
the UI during a lookup then those events are handled and the lookup is
either refocused and restarted or silently stopped. Appropriate events
would be things like further keystrokes and mouse clicks, but not
mouse-moves.
The UI would thus remain responsive which seems to be the core of most
of the complaints I've read. And it would do it without making the
feature modal.
