Write Code Faster
Long, descriptive names for symbols makes reading and understanding code easier. Typing long names frequently, however, is cumbersome. Don't waste time! Type a few letters or an acronym for a symbol, and Visual Assist X will display a list of suggestions. Type a shortcut to expand frequently used snippets of code. Visual Assist X has many features to help you code efficiently.
Suggestion Lists
Accelerate typing with suggestion lists that appear as you type.
Acronyms
Type an acronym - a short and simple abbreviation - and Visual Assist X finds the symbol you want.
Shorthand
If a members listbox is open, type a substring to see all members containing the substring.
Surround Selection
Simple but valuable commands make it easy to surround selections with comment characters, parentheses, braces, and #ifdef for C/C++ users.
Insert of },),]
Speed the typing of parenthesis and braces by having them closed automatically. You control the format.
VA Snippets
Accelerate the entry of commonly-used symbols and code snippets with VA Snippets.
Smart Suggestions
Highly context-aware suggestions to speed your typing.
Format after Paste
Run the Format Selection command of the IDE after every multi-line paste.
Multiple Clipboards
With Visual Assist X, you have the option to see a traditional paste menu, instead of the clipboard ring, when you press Ctrl+Shift+V.
Insert _ after m and Shift
Users who write with hungarian notation often prefix symbols with m and underscore. Speed the entry of the two characters by tapping Shift after m. The underscore appears automatically.
Sort Lines
Sort lines without leaving the editor.
Auto Using and Add Include Directives
Reference common .NET types in your C# code, and Visual Assist X suggests inserting the appropriate using directive at the top of the file. Similarly, C/C++ users can quickly add #include directives for undeclared identifiers.
Auto-extend Multi-line Comments
Easily continue a comment on a new line. After pressing Enter inside a multi-line comment, Visual Assist X inserts the appropriate comment token on the next line automatically.
