I'm really looking forward to seeing this in action!

(BTW, why on earth are you posting this in the /off-topic/ forum?!)

I'm really impressed that /one person/ was able to get this far. You 
would have thought that customising something as unnecessarily complex 
as VisualStudio would be intractably complex - a task requiring a 
full-team team of several hundred coders working for months on end.

Great :)

I'm supposing I could move this over to the P.general or the 
p.programming, but I feel I get a better audience here, I suppose?

Thanks!

No, /you/ would have thought that :-P

This is very cool Mike, I'm looking forward to giving it a test drive :)

I used a similar "skin" a couple of years ago for creating World of Warcraft
add-ons with LUA; it had the full syntax intellisense working and was really
useful.

Cheers,
Rob

Looks very promising, this is going to save a lot of time during scene 
development! What are the rules for distributing this - do people need a 
VS license to use it?

Nope... No VS License needed. It's a standalone application.

Another screenshot...

I now have suggestions from identifiers displaying. Next is going to be 
finding context to limit identifier and keyword suggestions, and 
determining which will show when typed and which will show when the 
completion list is called.

Right now I have it using all of the default functionality of the list, 
but because of a few quirks I have seen, I may need to look into using a 
couple of my own functions:

For the most part, the identifier list pops up properly, and has the 
appropriate words. And does the right thing when selected. However, when 
backspacing and retyping a letter, something internal to VS's source 
code editor gets reset, and sets the starting point in the wrong place. 
I believe this can be fixed easily by implementing one of the methods on 
the completion set.
