IntelliSense, C#, Text Editor, Options Dialog Box

Show completion list after a character is typed

When this option is selected, IntelliSense automatically displays the completion list when you begin typing. When this option is not selected, IntelliSense completion is still available from the IntelliSense menu or by pressing CTRL+SPACE.

Place keywords in completion lists

When this option is selected, IntelliSense adds C# keywords, for example, class (C# Reference), to the completion list.

Place code snippets in completion lists

When this option is selected, IntelliSense adds aliases for C# code snippets to the completion list. In the case where the code snippet alias is the same as a keyword, for example, class (C# Reference), the keyword is replaced by the shortcut. For more information, see Visual C# Code Snippets.
