One thing I really dislike about PHP is having to use -> as the accessor for members on a class. This is a three key operation (hyphen, shift, caret) Would it be possible to create some sort of shortcut for this? For example, if I type a double dot sequence when at the end of a variable, could the tools picks this up and replace with ->?
Typing $myObject.. becomes $myObject-> and then still pops IntelliSense to show the members.
