Smart completion: how to select method overloads

Created November 09, 2025 20:30

I'm trying to switch from VS+Resharper to Rider. Using Visual Studio keys layout

Rider offers parameter completion for one overload, up ad down keys select the options, and also has all types in the list (very useless)

In Visual Studio I pressed Ctrl+Shift+Space and it displayed overloads, up and down selected overloads and the type info was used in each parameter's comletion depending on that.

In Rider I only see the list of overloads when typing opening (, and up and down don't switch between them. This list is also very hard to invoke

I need to see all existing overloads in the pop-up, it's the primary information I need to work with new code (I need very often)

And I can't find settings, responsible for it - I want to see what overloads exists first, then the (mostly useless) suggestions.

Please help, what options or plugins do I need?

Put caret in parenthesises, then press CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE:

You can press CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE again to select a different signature. Note, if the suggest list is triggered automatically at the same time, like below, you need to press ESC to close the suggestion list first then use CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE to navigate between overloads:
