Scrolling through Visual Studio Intellisense list without mouse or keyboard arrows
I have remapped CTRL+P to Edit.LineUp
and CTRL+N to Edit.LineDown
and this works in the Intellisense dropdown. For some reason the Intellisense dropdown dims out when pressing CTRL so it gets kind of hard to see the content in the dropdown. It's not a big problem though, since you can always release CTRL and it will light up again. I mostly use this method when I don't know the name of the method and want to browse for it.
If I know the name or part of the name it is often quicker to just type some of the letters in the method name. If I know for example that the name of the method I want is GetHashCode then I would just type "geh" or "has" or similar since that would be matched by intellisense.
Go get a used Kinect for $30 and map either a voice command or a head gesture to mouse scroll event. The SDK is really easy to use. You could say if head tilt left scroll up or right scroll down.

You're only limited by your imagination.
I'm not sure which keyboard you prefer to use, but would an option be getting a keyboard with a thumb-accessible scroll wheel? Or something like the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000, which is a pretty great keyboard on its own but has a zoom-slider that's accessible to your index fingers on the home row. With some work you can change the zoom functionality to scrollup and scrolldown.
