FT: Acronyms like Visual Assist X

Hi,

If it would be possible to combine with the current features, Acronymns
like in Visual Assist would be interesting:

in case of:
String LongVariableName = "";

typing "lvn" would automatically suggest to use "LongVariableName"

Thanks,

Wiebe Tijsma

Interesting suggestion.
With the present features you can add a template "acronym" with the following
text:
string $NAME$ = "$NAME$";

Forget about my previous post - I did not catch what you meant.

Hello Wiebe,

personally, I'd like this feature. It is often convenient when typing the
name
of a type : 'ccp' instead of 'CustomColorsProvider'. Note that we already
have
this kind of acronyms in the 'Goto Type' feature - you can use
such acronyms there.

Hi Dmitry & Andrey,

Thanks for the reaction...

It could be a good feature, though it could be difficult to implement it
in a non-obtrusive but functional way, I mean the absolutely greatest
Resharper feature I know is that it never (well, hardly ever) does
anything I don't want it to do.

maybe the "Acronym Matches" results could also include the variable
names, not only type names?

xec<ctrl+space>

// becomes

XsltExtensionCollection | ;

xec<ctrlspace, enter> myX<ctrlspace, enter> = new ; // becomes: XsltExtensionCollection myXsltExtensionCollection = new XsltExtensionCollection(); and: mxeA value ]]>

becomes:

myXsltExtensionCollection.Add( | );

// (where the |(pipe) is the
// cursor, doing templates Delphi style ;-):

or maybe the results popup could also be shown when there's a locally
declared variable with 100% match?

BTW, I tried it with the 'Goto Type' feature, but didn't get it to work
(tried for example to type "xe" to move to XsltExtension, but showed up
red without a match).

Try typing XE (in uppercase). This should help.

Hello Wiebe,

Sorry, it was not mentioned that upper-case should be used for acronyms in
Go to Class/File. You can also use wildcards('*') or add space to match
the end of type/file name in Go to Class/File.

The main problem of acronyms is that they may start getting in the way. Especially,
acronyms of names consisting of one or two words. On the other hand, it is
certainly a good time-saver.

I just want to throw in that this is the best feature in VAX. I suggest
trying it out. I love RS and can't wait for 2.0EAP, but I would gladly
wait if something like this were on its way.

Hello John,

We may add this feature after the EAP is started.

I just want to throw in that this is the best feature in VAX. I
suggest trying it out. I love RS and can't wait for 2.0EAP, but I
would gladly wait if something like this were on its way.

Hello Wiebe,

I wish this feature very much. Also searching in drop-down lists and file
structure using acronyms would be great.
