`var` is making me nuts, especially, if it's not in front of a `new` keyword and constructor call, where the type is clearly given, but in front of a method call: `var x = callMethod(someArgs);` The team I work in, decided to make extensive use of var, regardless of the context. As a result, I have to move my cursor to the method and hit `CTRL+SPACE`. That will show the type, but i will still have to go to the method (CTRL+Click) to be able to navigate into the class of the type that's returned (to look up some implementation details). As I see it: 1. inline hint: GOOD 3. mousover-hint of the type when on top of `var`: GOOD. 4. navigable type hint (i.e. CTRL+CLICK on the inline hint or var directly, taking me to the class): GREAT 5. getting rid of `var` altogether: FANTASTIC. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
