Who moved the Start Page?

The point here is that for default installations both Richard and I are seeing different defaults.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

Maybe it differs from US to UK keyboards?

Could be, because the Brit's say "F5" and "F6" differently than us yanks ;P ;P ;P

It's always been F5 for me. And Ctrl+Shift+F5 is bound to the "Debug.Restart" command.
Well you just validated my grievance. Should't the option to Compile be the same regardless of version?

When you first start up Visual Studio it asks what settings you want to use, C#, VB.Net, etc. That will initially set your shortcut keys as well.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

But it is: it's F5, and it always has been, in every version of Visual Studio I can remember, at least since "Visual Studio .NET" in 2002. :confused: EDIT: Correction - F5 is
Debug.Start.Build.Compileis Ctrl+F7, andBuild.BuildSolutionis Ctrl+Shift+B. Default Keyboard Shortcuts in Visual Studio | Microsoft Docs[^] The VS2012 version of the documentation[^] shows how the mapping (used to?) differ depending on which scheme you selected when you first started Visual Studio.

For you it is. It's F6 on my Home PC and both my work PC's. And the other Dev's here say the same. That right there is my point. It should be the same for ALL Visual Studio installations everywhere.

F5 is Run over here. F6 is Build. I've bound SHIFT+F6 to ReBuild.

I hear ya. That is one of my biggest gripes with MS. FFS STOP MOVING THINGS AROUND!!! One that REALLLLLLLLLY bugs me is they change the keyboard shortcuts to compile. In VS2016 it was F6, then in 2015 it was CTRL+SHITF+F6 something else, now in my version 2017 it's back to F6. As far as the Start Page... I hear a lot of ppl say they disable it. I can't understand why. If the feeds are too slow then turn them off, but the MRU list and Project Options are useful. And, in 2010 MS provided a WPF Start Page template which MS hasn't upgraded since. I once created a really useful start page but I can't now upgrade it.

Concerning the Keyboard shortcuts: It looks like you somehow had a different keyboard mapping scheme in VS 2015. You can change this in Tools -> Options... -> Environment -> Keyboard. The Mapping with Build on F6 is called Visual C# 2005. As I recall in older VS installation you were asked what main language you were going to use and based on that the keyboard mapping was chosen.

Except for me it's F7 build ctrl-F7 compile F5 - run, and has been since before the millenium. F10 step over, F11 step in ... you get the drill :-)

In VS2017, prior to 15.2, Start Page was under the View menu. Now its under the File menu. I don't want to File the Start Page, I want to view it.
"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."
I never have this problem, because I always use the menus. That way, I don't have to worry about which IDE I'm in or have to remember shortcuts. Ctrl-X,C,V are the only shortcuts that I ever use. They even work in Linux.

Compile. And you just proved my point. Where did F7 come from???

Build Solution is Ctrl+Shift+B in 2015 and 2017 for me. Check your "Additional Keyboard mapping scheme" option under Options/Environment/Keyboard. If I have Visual C# 2005 selected it adds F6 If I have Visual C++ 2 selected it adds Shift+F8 Visual C++ 6 adds F7

If it's shortcut, you can modify them yourself easily... In Options menu.
