I have a lot of custom keyboard shortcuts set up. To avoid having to set them up every time I install a new visual studio (happens quite a lot currectly, with VS2010 being in beta/RC) I have created a macro, that sets up all my custom commands, like this:
DTE.Commands.Item("ReSharper.ReSharper_UnitTest_RunSolution").Bindings = "Global::Ctrl+T, Ctrl+A"
My main problem is that Ctrl+T is set up to map to the transpose char command by default. So I want to remove that default value in my macro.
I have tried the following two lines, but both throw an exception
DTE.Commands.Item("Edit.CharTranspose").Bindings = ""
DTE.Commands.Item("Edit.CharTranspose").Bindings = Nothing
Although they kind of work, because they actually remove the binding ;) But I would prefer the solution that doesn't throw an exception.
How is that done?
I have coped with the same issue. I use a macro to assign key bindings for a set of align macros.
Dim NewBindings() = {"Global::Alt+="}
DTE.Commands.Item("Macros.Dev.AlignUtils.AlignEquals").Bindings = NewBindings
NewBindings(0) = "Global::Alt+Num -"
DTE.Commands.Item("Macros.Dev.AlignUtils.AlignMinus").Bindings = NewBindings
...
And to remove key bindings i use the following statements :
Dim DelBindings() = {}
DTE.Commands.Item("Macros.Dev.AlignUtils.AlignPlus").Bindings = DelBindings
It works fine under Visual Studio 2005.
I followed a little more pragmatic way (using your example):
DTE.Commands.Item("ReSharper.ReSharper_UnitTest_RunSolution").Bindings = "Global::Ctrl+T"
DTE.Commands.Item("ReSharper.ReSharper_UnitTest_RunSolution").Bindings = "Global::Ctrl+T, Ctrl+A"
With the first assignment Ctrl+T
is unassigned from any other function and then becomes unbound with the second assignment.
Works like a charm for me.
You do not need to change it with macro, Just go to
Menu>Tools>Options -- Keyboard and then select what you want to change the shortcut from the dropdown and assignyour desiered short cut
