IntelliSense provides an array of features that make language references easy to access. When you are coding, you do not have to leave the Code Editor or the Immediate Mode command window to perform searches on language elements. You can keep your context, find the information that you need, insert language elements directly into your code, and even have IntelliSense complete your typing for you.
