OOPKSC - Out Of Place Keyboard Shortcuts
-
IDE keyboard shortcuts become second nature to developers. So much so, that we expect them to work everywhere. Like ctrl-C does. What shortcuts do you find yourself trying to use where they don't work? For me, I'm always trying to delete or move lines with the Visual Studio ctrl-l (delete line), and alt-[arrow] (move line up or down) in things like Word.

I remap a lot of the VS keystrokes to things I like better, like Ctrl+G (for Go) for run without debug, and Ctrl+D for debug. Whenever I'm helping someone else, I have to remember the default keystrokes. Not that hard, but annoying. One of the reasons pair programming doesn't work, IMO. Marc

Messes with reinstalls too when you haven't saved your config :).

Esc :wq Strangely enough it doesn't do anything useful in Word!
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like. Dave

I didn't know Word did anything useful to start with. :laugh:

One thing that irritates me enormously is that in Outlook 365, which I have to use at work, Ctrl + F means something different than Find. All Microsoft products interpret this as Find, but not Outlook 365 for some strange reason … :mad:

PF4 / Gold-PF4 delete line / undelete line. (If I recall correctly.)

Ctrl+K In Eclipse it means: find-next. In VS it does nothing (except that small message about waiting the second keystroke)... However if I do not realize my mistake and hit it again I set a bookmark... Now Ctrl+K, F3 is invalid, so I already at 3 hits...

CTRL+SHIFT+B gets me - "Build" in VS, "Toggle bookmarks" in Chrome. And F5 is "Refresh" yes? Not in Outlook - that's F9. Except in Live Mail, it's back to F5 ... :sigh:

Different versions of Visual Studio have their Build keys mapped differently. In some cases it's F6, other CTRL+B, and I've even see CTRL+SHIFT+F6 That is the most annoying blasted thing MS does - LEAVE THE DAMN KEYS THE SAME FROM ONE VERSION TO THE NEXT!
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

Yeah, learned that the hard way. But even if I forget to save the config, I have several other computers and VM's config'd the same way, so I can (and have) grabbed it from another machine.

ctrl-G. I used to love ringing the bell.

Try switching between Visual Studio and Xcode on a frequent, ad-hoc basis. It does your head in (and VS is a lot nicer).

Visual Studio compiles & runs with F5, Delphi with F9. I sometimes find myself setting a breakpoint (that's what F5 does in Delphi) instead of compiling.

The "hjkl" for navigation and "\" for searching CTRL+G as well :-D

Isn't that the "spawn SkyNet™" hot key?

My Visual Studio shortcuts: F12 - Go to next bookmark in document Shift-F12 - Previous bookmark in document Ctrl-F12 - Toggle bookmark Alt-F12 - Clear bookmarks in document Shift-Alt-C - Clean solution Shift-Alt-B - Rebuild solution I leave the rest of them alone. Whenever I use a lab machine I usually set these. The defaults for [Shift/Ctrl/Alt]-F12 don't do anything especially useful, and the other two aren't even set, so they don't piss off my coworkers.

As a Word user since the earliest "Word for Windows" days, I think your statement needs a little refinement. I think it should read: "Microsoft hasn't added anything useful to Word in a long time (at least since 2003)." At that, they've removed a number of useful features or rendered them less effective, all in the name of security.
