Keyboard shortcuts

[nlowdon]

Afternoon Folks ! I'm looking for some advice on keyboard shortcuts please. I have my system set up so that some of the main windows are minimized at the side of the screen (toolbox, solution explorer etc). I have found the keyboard shortcuts for making these visible/hiding and was wondering if there was another key tap for pinning it in place (turning off the auto hide) ? You know - say i wanted it open t drag a a few components and didn't want it to keep auto-hiding. I know i can 'pin' it with the mouse but would rather use the keyboard. A bit hard to explain i know but hopefully you've understood me. Neil

Hi, I think you're in wrong forum. Here's C# forum, try Visual Studio forum[^].

I set up macros to do this, e.g.,

Sub ToggleToolbox()

Dim w As Window = DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindToolbox)

If w.Visible Then
    w.Visible = False
Else
    w.Visible = True
End If

End Sub

Sub ToggleSolutionExplorer()

Dim w As Window = DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer)

If w.Visible Then
    w.Visible = False
Else
    w.Visible = True
End If

End Sub

Then assign them to keyboard shortcuts.
