How to open the regular pop-up menu with control dot when PostSharp is installed

Question

A lot of times when I want to rename a variable, I use the Control-Dot shortcut to pull up the popup menu where I can let Visual Studio do it for me. However, with PostSharp installed it takes over the shortcut to make its own menu pop up and the only way I know to get the default one to come up is to move my mouse over the tiny area at the end of the word which isn't a big deal but kind of annoying.

Does anyone know how I can make it go back to pulling up the regular menu with the shortcut since I really never use the PostSharp one anyway?

Answer 1

This is a defect of Visual Studio because PostSharp does not override any shortcut but instead implements a smart tag provider and the rest is managed by VS. Yet I agree this is annoying. You can disable PostSharp smart tags from the menu PostSharp / Options.
