Visual Studio (Resharper?) annoyance of the year
-
Tagging VS and R#er since I'm not sure which one is guilty. A few months ago my copy of VS started trying to be helpful by, when I select a block of text and type `(` wrapping the text in a `(` `)` pair instead of replacing the selected text with an `(`. If this was something that Borland had invented in its IDEs 25+ years ago, or that MS had done 20+ years ago I'd probably think it was a brilliant feature; but after several months of swearing at it I've concluded that my current typing patterns are too deeply embedded in my brain to chance - and avoiding a backspace/delete press by typing over unwanted text is very much at the core of how I type.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

It must be the fault of VS. It's a culture thing, like when Excel pops crap up in anticipation of what you want to do, when all you want is to see the underlying! :mad: But it's also a culture thing that, if you poke around for an hour, you'll find a way to disable it. :-D

It's R#: Options ⇒ Environment ⇒ Editor ⇒ Behavior Un-tick "Surround selection on typing a quote, brace or parenthesis"

Ah, you use C++ ... it can be changed. Open VS, and go to "Tools ... Options" Open the "C/C++" branch, and select "Advanced". Scroll to the bottom of the list, and you'll find "Text Editor" Under that are two options "Enable Surround with Braces" and "Enable Surround with Parentheses" - set then to "False" and it'll stop doing it. False is the default for these, so either the config file got messed up, or somebody specifically enabled them on your machine ...

Evidently that feature has more than one fan!

Nope. Don't even have C/C++ installed at present, it was R#er to blame as answered above.

I'm using Resharper for both C++/CLI and C# development. It does have a few annoyances but primarily it's a big help to me, especially with C++/CLI.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Agreed. I hate the performance tax it inflicts, but gladly pay it for the extra help it offers.

I use VisualAssistX and this is one of my favourite functions, so useful I actually forgot it's not standard and I end up swearing a lot when I change IDE (i.e. for firmware development).
