I am a big fan of shortcut keys. I find that if I can keep my hands on the
keyboard and not reach for the mouse, my productivity stays high.
First, I
want to say thanks to Steve Donie
for this change in my mindset. Steve has a key for everything, and if there
is not a key for it, he has a batch script with a shortcut key mapped. Below,
I'll illustrate some shortcut keys I love. Note, I use many, many shortcut
keys that hook into Resharper,
but these shortcut keys work in Visual Studio 2005.
