Most Common/Favorite Keyboard Key(s)
-
They say that "Power Users" execute functions from the keyboard as much or more than with the mouse. I'm curious. What function key(s) do you frequently use when writing code? The TAB key is by far my most frequently used function key. (Finishes an intellisense statement) The second would be: Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V The third would be F11. (When debugging code)
The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.
I have noticed that the keys "a", "s" and CTRL wear off fastest on my keyboard. Space bar is clearly worn to the point that it's become polished enough to use a small mirror...

F5 is the obvious for me... I am to lazy to click the stupid play symbol. Next is likely Ctrl+K+C... Then after I figure out WTF I Ctrl+K+U.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

:laugh: I use my left thumb for most of my spacebar hits. It's pretty worn on that side.

You obviously don't use Visual Studio then. If you did, you would be less than satisfied by the F1ishness you receive.

"." Don't ask me why my favorite key is the period... Could have something to do with my typing style when chatting... Your guess is as good as mine...
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

No kidding! F1 is basically a license for Visual Studio to simply lock your machine up till it figures out what the hell to do.

It might as well just redirect you to Google. There was a time (many years ago) when the MSDN help was superb. Subsequent releases have made the product worse.

I remap various functions that I use all the time: Ctrl+G : run without debug (as in, Go) Ctrl+D : debug Ctrl+A : build all Ctrl+M : toggle bookmark Ctrl+N/P: next and previous bookmark, with the "in the same document" behavior, rather than spanning across documents. WTF? Ctrl+B : toggle breakpoint Ctrl+T : goTo line in the debugger Ctrl+L : goto Line number Ctrl+E : goto rEference Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab, with that stupid "list of documents" window NUKED Ctrl+F : find in window Ctrl+Shift+F : find in [somewhere] Ctrl+H : find and replace in window Ctrl+Shift+H : find and replace in [somewhere] With that, I basically never have to touch the mouse except to hover over something in the debugger to see what the value is. besides the standard copy/paste, etc. Function keys are meaningless to me. I mean, I do remember the basics when I'm using someone else's computer, but I much prefer Ctrl+[some letter] as an easier memnonic than F5 for debug and Ctrl+F5 for run without debug, etc. Oddly though, I use F10 and F11 !!! I think because it harks back from SO LONG ago, that it's hardwired in my brain. Marc

Ctrl+K,D by a long shot - sort out that formatting! Then Ctrl, Shift + Esc...why's it taking so long!

The only thing I really miss about VB is the Ctrl F2 and Ctrl Shift F2. Go to reference and return from reference. :sigh:

Ctrl +C / Ctrl + V. Up arrow / Down arrow / Left arrow / Right arrow and Ctrl to Fire and Space to jump. :)
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files

S Ctrl+S Ctrl+C/V Space A T Alt Ctrl Win Enter What about ; I think should be the most common key on a developer's keyboard.
