I'm using Visual Studio 2010 with some add-ins and extensions. The problem is now that the context menu of the project items in the solution explorer is getting so large that I always have to scroll down for the "Properties" and the "Open in Windows Explorer" which I use most.
This is getting very nasty.
Is there a possibility to group commands into a sub menu or to modify the position of the commands in the context menu?
You can always use the keyboard to do the work for you.
- The default binding for Properties is Alt+Enter (or sometimes F4 depending on what add-ins you have installed). Select the project in Solution Explorer and hit Alt+Enter to show it's properties. (This works for almost any other object as well, btw).
- The default binding for view SolutionExplorer is Ctrl+Alt+L, so you don't have to use your mouse to get there.
- There is no default binding for opening a project in Windows Explorer, but you can set one yourself.
The keyboard bindings are set under Tools->Options...->Environment->Keyboard, and the interesting settings in this case are probably View.SolutionExplorer, Project.OpenFolderinWindowsExplorer and View.PropertiesWindow or Project.Properties depending on which propertiy collection you were referring to.
