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.

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 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

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. :)

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

Actually, I do. I just don't expect much from it. It took 4 wasted tries and a complete rebuild of my system to get the Visual Studio Help system to install at all, and after a couple of months it quit returning any results whatsoever from the local help files, so I gave up. It is a POS that can't be fixed by anyone but Microsoft, and they refuse to support their products. So I use Google instead, which has always returned more accurate and relevant responses than anything Microsoft has to offer. Happily, every other app I use has no trouble responding to F1 properly; only the creators of the function can't get it to work.

Disconnect your mouse, you can operate most applications without one. The only exception I found are webbrowsers, it's bloody annoying to tab through all hyperlinks. Win-E: Explorer Win-R: Run Win-D: Show Desktop Ctrl-S, Alt-F4: Save & Exit Alt-Space-X: Maximize Window Ctrl-Tab: Next MDI child

I agree with that. Just don't tell that to the VB guys or they will roast you for supper! :laugh:

I use Ctrl+A a lot for select all; Ctrl+H for search/replace; Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V for cutting, copying and pasting. The Home and End keys are pretty worn out too (although it's hard to tell these days as my keyboard is covered in crumbs, coffee and bits of pizza!)
