CamelHumps

CamelHumps always works in all Search by name commands, namely Search Everywhere/Go to Type, Go To File, File Structure, and Go to Symbol. It is very convenient to type initial letters of name parts and get the list of matching items:

You can type either uppercase or lowercase letters:

ReSharper can also find CamelCased items that match letters in the query in any order:

Of course, such items will be placed lower in the result lists if there are items that match both letters and their order in the query.

CamelHumps can also work for Extend/Shrink Selection and other typing assistance commands that ReSharper overrides in Visual Studio:

• Extend Selection to Next/Previous Word (Ctrl+Shift+Right Arrow/Ctrl+Shift+Left Arrow)

• Go to Next/Previous Word (Ctrl+Left Arrow/Ctrl+Right Arrow)

• Delete text from the start of the word to the caret Ctrl+Backspace

• Delete text from the caret to the end of the word Ctrl+Delete

If the CamelHumps is enabled, the Extend/Shrink Selection commands take into account parts of compound names. Suppose you have placed the caret in the middle of a compound name with several parts that begin with uppercase letters:

With CamelHumps, pressing for the first time selects the current part of the word:

Only after pressing this keystroke for the second time ReSharper selects the whole word:

All subsequent presses are processed as usual.

With the Use CamelHumps option enabled, Visual Studio's 'Next/Previous Word' Edit.WordNext/Edit.WordPrevious and 'Extend selection to Next/Previous Word' Edit.WordNextExtend/Edit.WordPreviousExtend commands also work in a different way. When you press Ctrl+Right/Left Arrow or Ctrl+Shift+Right/Left Arrow the caret moves with/without selection to the next/previous character that separates parts of a compound name in the current word, and only after the last part in word, it moves on to the next/previous word.

There is also a way to have both behaviors (respecting and ignoring Camel Case) for 'Next/Previous Word' and 'Extend selection to Next/Previous Word', that is, the default Visual Studio shortcuts (Ctrl+Right/Left Arrow and Ctrl+Shift+Right/Left Arrow) will work ignoring Camel Case and some custom shortcuts will work respecting Camel Case.

To configure it, turn off the Use CamelHumps option in ReSharper settings, and then assign custom shortcuts in Visual Studio options (Tools | Options | Environment | Keyboard) to the following commands:

• ReSharper_HumpNext – move caret to next hump

• ReSharper_HumpPrev – move caret to previous hump

• ReSharper_HumpNextExtend – extend selection to next hump

• ReSharper_HumpPrevExtend – extend selection to previous hump

Note that with this setup (with the Use CamelHumps option disabled), the Extend/Shrink Selection command will ignore CamelHumps.

By default, CamelHumps support is also enabled for Code Completion features, that is, you can start typing a CamelCase abbreviation of a symbol (also in lowercase) and the completion popup will display matched items. If necessary, you can configure this behavior.
