If your familiar with visual studio you can select code snippets from the auto complete list. is this possible in IntelliJ
So for example if i type
for
it would show "for" and the live template "fori" in the code complete dropdown list
Turns out it is possible (unless I'm missing something) via the Registry editor:
See this answer on how to get to this editor.

I recently discovered that is possible to use Attribute [ProcedureName].VB_*, inside procedures.
What I found
But this code is not shown inside VBA Editor.
Same code in VBA Editor (left) and exported .cls in Notepad (right)
When Attribute is written inside VBA Editor, it's marked red
Attributes added manually in the VBA Editor
The question
Is there more elegant way how to maintain these Attributes than export class module, edit them outside and import them back (facepalm needed)?
Also I haven't found official documentation for these Attributes (on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/).
Thank you!
PS: As always I hitted something interesting and related just after Question had been sent. A step-by-step example on Microsoft Docs site suggests to do it by Export-Edit-Import method :(
The process for getting Rubberduck to apply annotations requires a few steps.
Execute a Rubberduck refresh. If the code does not compile cleanly then Rubberduck will show a 'Parse Error'. In this case you need to sort out your code first. This can be an issues if you are applying Rubberduck to an existing code base. If not then learn to compile and rubberduck.Refresh early and regularly (i.e. after every complete edit)
If Rubberduck parses successfully you then need to look at Rubberduck.Code Inspections. To take action about an inspection result select the individual result and right click. This will provide a list of actions that can be applied by Rubberduck.
Is there a way to list all the suggested Quick Actions for an open project in VS2017 (v15.3.3)?
I do not see any listed in the Error List window (even with "Build + IntelliSense" selected), though I do see other types of IntelliSense warnings such as CS warnings (e.g. CS1591).
(Quick Actions being the items that are marked in the gutter with a light bulb and accessed with either Alt +Enter or Ctrl+.)
Thanks to a response from the #VisualStudio twitter account, I've come across this MS Docs page that answers this question: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/code-styles-and-quick-actions?utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral
It describes how to set code style preferences by opening the Tools > Options window and selecting Text Editor > C# / Basic > Code Style > General.
Here there are a list of the code style preferences. To see where they are suggested in one's own code the severity of each can be changed, say from "None" to "Suggestion" or "Warning". Then, during a build, the locations for the related style will be listed in the Build Output or Errors windows
This isn't exactly the same as what you're looking for, but could help you make changes much more quickly to the entire document, project, or solution:
When you try to apply a quick action (using Ctrl + .), you'll get a preview of the changes it will make. At the bottom of that preview is a button that says
"Apply to all occurrences in ..."
This will save you from having to go to every single occurrence in a certain scope and fixing it, which is what I've done for a couple of hours now :(
I am using Brackets at the moment i want to switch to Visual Stuido Code but some features of Brackets are very usefull.
One of them, i use the editor narrowly, Brackets going under line automatically if it is not fit the line, but Visual Studio Code does not.
And second one also is when i design a html i can see the differences in live preview, is it possible to see it in Visual Stuido Code also?

You want to enable the Word Wrap in Visual Studio Code.
Go to View -> Toggle Word Wrap.
Live Preview is actually possible in every editor you use. Today's devs use task automators like Gulp or Grunt, so they are not attached to specific editor like Brackets.
Using Gulp (or Grunt) you can set up a task that will watch your files for changes and then do specific actions, like reload the page, recompile Sass files etc.

I need some small information about visual studio. Presently, I am using VS 2010. When we type "ctor + tab + tab", it will create code snippet for "Constructor" if the language Visual C#. Similarly, for prop,//,etc...
But, its not the case with VB.NET language. Can you guys provide some list of shortcuts which VS(VB.NET) supports.
Thanks in advance.
Code snippets are highly customizable code fragments intended to accomplish simple to intermediate tasks quickly; they can be inserted into your code with just a few keystrokes.
You can insert IntelliSense Code Snippets using the Code Snippet Picker or typing the shortcut name of the snippet and pressing Tab. When you know the name of the snippet you want to insert, you can do so by typing its shortcut followed by the TAB key. When you have to browse for an appropriate snippet, you can use the snippet picker, which gives you categorized lists of snippets to choose from.
Visual Basic includes a code library consisting of several hundred pieces of code, called IntelliSense code snippets, that are ready to be inserted in your application. Each snippet performs a complete programming task such as creating a custom exception, sending an e-mail message, or drawing a circle. You can insert a snippet into your source code with a few mouse clicks. You can also create your own snippets that suit your business needs, add them to the library, and then use them when needed.
In VS2008 (VB.NET) when you type Public Property X As SomeType
and press enter, VS auto-generates the rest of that property definition for you.
I would like to be able to customize what VS generates.
Any thoughts on how to go about that? VS must have a template for it somewhere, eh?
Thanks.
I think that the Property generation uses an inbuilt macro. I haven't found it in the list of sample macros provided with VS. However, you can edit the DefineAProperty.snippet* file to modify it as per your requirement. Personally, though, I would suggest creating your own snippet rather than modifying the pre-installed ones.
