Accidentally Discovering Shortcuts
-
I'm a fan of keyboard shortcuts and use them regularly with VS and VS code. One of them is shift+ctrl+d for Ghostdoc to add comments to a method. Today I accidentally pressed shift+ctrl+t and discovered the find file feature :) I should probably just have a look at the shortcut cheatsheet :-O I also recall activating a f.lux color scheme that turned my display a strange hue of pink iirc. That was a fun one to track down, since I didn't know that I caused it by pressing some hotkey combination. Have you found any cool / handy shortcuts by accident?
I found a VS shortcut (don't know what it was) that lost half the VS Panes and scrambled the rest. I had to use the Window -> Reset Window Layout to get anything usable. Now, when I try to move / view panes, VS just crashes. I hope I never find that shortcut again.

Never stumbled across any cool/handy ones, only ones that I wish I hadn't found. One of the most annoying, because it can easily occur accidentally, is hitting ALT in an Excel spreadsheet.

THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for a Visual Studio equivalent to Visual Studio Code's Ctrl+P (Goto File) forever and you've shown it to me... Now I just need to remap it to Ctrl+P (I mean, who prints out their code?) and I'll be 💯happy.

There's a cheat sheet for that: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/keyboard-shortcuts.pdf[^] And for Visual Studio Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts-windows.pdf[^]

I wish there was an option to lock down the panes in VS so that they cannot accidentally be dragged from their position. I tend to be a mouse user more than shortcuts, and this tends to happen often enough to be annoying...

I accidentally discovered that F11 in Chrome switches it to full screen. And only F11 will switch it back out of full screen. ESC doesn't do it!

For Visual Studio 2017/2019, there's this handy extension[^] which shows you the shortcut assigned to any commands you don't invoke from a shortcut. (The VS2022 version is on the todo list[^].)

I originally read this as "flux capacitor" and I was like, "Holy crap" how do I do that!. Having a PC that can actually time travel would be amazing, both good and bad.

It happens to me as well. It would be nice to lock them in place. Searching for an answer I see that it's been requested before, years ago. It seems like the best alternative is to save the current layout and then load that saved layout if you really mess it up.

Visual Studio 2008 has a bug that undocks all of your windows. To recover you must carefully start up a second instance of VS2008, exit the broken one, and then exit the 2nd. This forces the original window layout to get saved over the borked one. And yes, my choice of present tense for the preceding paragraph was not an accident :suss:...

I some times zoom/magnify my Outlook window. Maybe mouse wheel or something on the ten key? I wish I knew the reverse. I always have to dig through the ribbons to undo it.
