Auto-suggestions of types does not work well with long namespaces

Open mhochk opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

When working in a repo with a long (often well-nested) namespace, filling in fields such as 'Type name' on a Data Context can be a cumbersome experience, as every result starts with the same namespacing (e.g. Org.Studio.ProductName.ClassName), so every suggestion gets cut-off before it can be distinguished from the other suggestions. image image

One solution to this may be smart ellipsing of suggestions, using '.' as the delimiter, collapsing away all suggestions that share the same namespace groups. Before: Org.Studio.ProductName.Area.ClassName Org.Studio.ProductName.Area.OtherClassName Org.Studio.ProcuctName.Area2.ClassName After: ...Area.ClassName ...Area.OtherClassName ...Area2.ClassName

An additional solution may be making the suggestion box horizontally scrollable.
