Favorite Visual Studio keyboard shortcuts [closed]

Question

What is your favorite Visual Studio keyboard shortcut? I'm always up for leaving my hands on the keyboard and away from the mouse!

One per answer please.

Answer 1

My favorite: F12 (go to definition) and Shift+F12 (find references).

The latter is useful with F8 (go to next result).

Ctrl+- and Ctrl+Shift+- are mapped to my mouse's back and forwards buttons.

Ctrl+. is useful too, especially for adding event handlers and "using" statements.

Answer 2

Alt+Shift+arrow keys(←,↑,↓,→)

This allow you to select things in a block. Like you could select all of the "int" in the block and then search and replace to double for example.

**int** x = 1;
**int** y = 2;
**int** z = 3;

Answer 3

Open and set focus in Solution Explorer: Ctrl+Alt+L

Answer 4

Ctrl+F10

run to cursor when debugging. Looked for this for ages before I found the keyboard shortcut...

Answer 5

Ctrl+M, O. Can collapse and expand all sections of code in a particular file.

Answer 6

Ctrl+K, Ctrl+C Comment a block

Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U Uncomment the block
