VS2010 intellisense would fade if press Ctrl key

On my VS2010, when intellisense is showing, and if I press Ctrl key, the whole intellisense would be dimmed out and very hard to see until Ctrl key is released.

This is very annoying as I remaped my up down arrow keys to Ctrl+J and开发者_运维知识库 Ctrl+K using autohotkey to save my RSI.

Does anybody know an option/workaround to either configure keybinding to navigate intellisense or make it not dim out?

If you have Visual Assist X, then you are in luck as it has a reg option to disable the Ctrl key fade behavior in Visual Studio.

Reg value named "ListboxFlags" at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Whole Tomato\Visual Assist X\VANet10

Or the value with 0x10 (value is 0 by default, so in that case, just set the value to 0x10).
