c# - Scrolling through Visual Studio Intellisense list without mouse or keyboard arrows -


i'm heavy user of intellisense in visual studio. i'm "keep hands on keyboard" , "keep them in home position" aficionado, i'm looking ways keep hands centered on asdf   jkl; keys as possible.

whenever intellisense list pops in visual studio, if there many words in list start same letters word i'm trying select, typing first few letters hone in on selection doesn't help, since list won't jump down preferred selection until type enough characters reach first unique character in word. it's faster take right hand off jkl; keys , reach up/down arrow keys manually scroll through list.

i'd rather keep hands centered in home position, , ideally use j , k keys move , down in intellisense list (similar how j , k move , down in vim...and since use vsvim inside visual studio).

the msdn intellisense documentation lists up/down arrow keys , scrolling (mouse wheel, pgup/pgdn keys, etc.) options doing this: enter image description here


so here questions (in order of preference):

  1. are there existing keyboard shortcuts in visual studio allow keeping hands in home position while scrolling intellisense list?

  2. is there way custom map keyboard keys (such j , k) up/down scrolling in intellisense list?

  3. are there plugins enable functionality?

  4. is there other way accomplish this?

i have remapped ctrl+p edit.lineup , ctrl+n edit.linedown , works in intellisense dropdown. reason intellisense dropdown dims out when pressing ctrl gets kind of hard see content in dropdown. it's not big problem though, since can release ctrl , light again. use method when don't know name of method , want browse it.

if know name or part of name quicker type of letters in method name. if know example name of method want gethashcode type "geh" or "has" or similar since matched intellisense.
