Death by tooltip - stylecop/resharper/intellisense - how to I get intellisense tooltips to show? - resharper

Annoying crap. I am using VS 2012; I have ReSharper and StyleCop (SC) installed. If a StyleCop warning is enabled on a line of code, I can't get rid of it unless I fix it. I want to handle the SC warning later and see the intellisense tooltip on one of the class references defined. How the hell do I do this? I do NOT want to temporily disable SC, I only want to tell it to "shut up" for a second so I can view intellisense.

Using Resharper you can quickly disable the analysis of the current file (including the StyleCop analysis) with the following keyboard shortcut
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + 8
Check the intellisense tooltip and after that re-activate the analysis again using the same shortcut.

How do I see both Resharper's and Visual Studio's refactoring suggestions?

In Resharper for Visual Studio, often I want to use a refactoring suggestion and I'm not sure whether it is part of Resharper or VS. Sometimes I have to push Ctrl+. to open Resharper's refactorings and then hit escape and then push Alt+Enter to open VS's wrench or light bulb.
Is there a way to combine these into one menu or otherwise see both, of course without losing the VS refactorings?
ReSharper used to be able to merge VS actions into the Alt+Enter menu, but right now as of 2022.3 this functionality is broken (see RSRP-486822).
I suggest you disable "Hide Visual Studio Quick Action icons in the left editor margin" setting in R# options. This was you will be able to see VS actions using Ctrl+., and R# actions using Alt+Enter.

VsVim: Is there a way to dismiss ReSharper intellisense and stay in insert mode?

When using VsVim and ReSharper, I type something that brings up the intellisense window. I want to make it go away, so I press the escape key. The intellisense window is gone, but I'm also back in normal mode.
Is there a way to make the intellisense window go away and stay in insert mode?
I'm currently working on a guide for working with VsVim and Resharper ( https://github.com/keithn/vsvimguide )
One of the little tricks I found for this situation is to press Alt then Alt again and it gets rid of the autocomplete.
What it's actually doing is taking you to the menu bar then takes you back to editing but ditches the autocomplete in the process.

Fix Resharper intellisense

Does anyone know how to fix this, besides pressing esc then typing the variable name again?
JetBrains ReSharper 6.1 C# Edition
Build 6.1.37.86 on 2011-12-21T04:15:24
Plugins: none
Visual Studio 10.0.30319.1.
You may want to try changing the IntelliSense option:
Whether you're using IntelliSense ReSharper or Visual Studio, try changing it, then changing it back. I've sometimes had similar issues and toggling the option can help.
Usually restart of Visual Studio tends to re-enable intellisense, I'd much rather a proper fix from JetBrains.
For me, R# intellisense stopped working after installing (and then uninstalling) certain R# extensions. Adding the extensions back fixed the problem.
Edit 1:
Also, try playing with the R# IntelliSense options and see what happens.
In particular switch "Options | Environment | IntelliSense | Completion Appearance | Display completion items in:" from "Visual Studio IntelliSense font" to "Text Editor font" and back.
In the end I tried many things (including upgrading and downgrading R#) over and over again until R# IntelliSense was back.
I had this issue, and I hadn't realized I had opened a project in Folder view mode. Resharper Intellisense won't show unless you switch to a solution view.
Make sure you select a solution instead of a Folder view:

ReSharper set GoToNextHightlight to navigate to the errors first

ReSharper manages to find the errors without compiling but they don't seem to have higher priority than other hightlights . When I have a file with a lot of warnings (like unknown css class) I want to ignore, I can't use F12(go to next highlight) shortcut without going through all warnings. Of course I can use the scroll bar to go that error but it would be better to use keyboard shortcut. Any suggestions for this this?
Depending on your keymap:
if using the R# keymap, press ALT + F12
if using the VS keymap, press SHIFT + ALT + PgDn
This will invoke the "Go to next error" command, which ignores warnings, suggestions, etc.

Resharper installed, now no automatic code prompts in immediate window

I've become accustomed to using ReSharper, so uninstalling it is not an option.
However 1 little thing that I would like to try fix is the immediate window, I used to get automatic intellisense prompts when for example typing myObject.
That seems to no longer be working (and only in immediate window while debugging) since I installed ReSharper. Any ideas on how to get it back?
Unfortunately, if you're using the ReSharper intellisense (instead of the Visual Studio one), it won't work. I remember reading somewhere that this is a known issue due to a limitation in the Visual Studio extensibility API. This also affects the watch dialog.
The only thing you could do is manually invoke intellisense each time using Ctrl-Space. Perhaps this issue will be solved in Visual Studio 2010.
The problem is ReSharper and there is no current any solution.
And the shortcut for intellisense-pop is Ctrl + Space, (not Ctrl + Alt + Space)
