By default Visual Studio displays all members and its extension methods for a type in intellisense.
Sometimes I would like to hide the extension methods to make it easier to find the member I am actually looking for (especially when using Linq).
Is there a shortcut or another way to display only the members of a type in intellisense?

Not that I'm aware of - but one thing you might want to do is get rid of the using directive for
System.Linq. At that point the extension method won't be accessible, and I believe it won't be offered by Intellisense.Obviously that's no good if you want to use LINQ from one bit of code in a class, but not in another - but for classes which aren't using LINQ at all, it might help you.
chris : not quite what I was hoping for but thanks!Benjol : I can confirm that they won't be offered by Intellisense, (a rather frequent gotcha for me, after having done a "Remove Unused Usings"). -
In theory you could do this with the appropriate decorator attribute*, but googling this it seems it's bugged, with the fix awaiting a service pack presumably.

Perhaps you could try using something like resharper which filters the list of methods as you type. I find this helps me to quickly get to what I need. And it will do so without hiding useful extention methods

Filtering of methods is default behavior in VS2010 intellisense
