Best Visual Studio Shortcut
A work colleague and I were discussing what we thought the best Visual Studio keyboard shortcut was.
The shortcut had to be a VS one and not that of a third party (eg. Resharper).
We came to the conclusion that Alt-Shift-Enter to enter into and out of Full Screen mode took 1st prize.
The shortcut to save – ctrl-s – is pretty handy too, but we decided this was not unique to VS and was more of a windows common-look-and-feel item.
What’s your favourite VS keyboard shortcut?
Pretty much the one and only Visual Studio shortcut I use is Ctrl + Shift + S (save all). I actually use this over Ctrl + S (save file) after being caught out a number of times by only saving the current file I’m working on.
I’m also a big fan of middle clicking on a tab to close it – just like in firefox – though obviously this isn’t a keyboard shortcut!
I never use Full Screen mode because my PC is too slow going in and out of it. Plus, I turn off pretty much all of my toolbars then maximise my Visual Studio window, so going full screen only earns me about 2 extra lines anyway!
Ctrl-i (incremental search) Its one of my favorites when I can remember to use it. Problem is that I am so brain-washed into thinking that searching is Ctrl-f that I almost always forget about Ctrl-i :)
I would say is F7 to toggle from code to design view..
That has to be the Ctrl+K,Ctrl+D combo. Formats (or messes up, depending on how well the syntax checks out) the your code pretty good :)
