        Thank you, I think I watched that post. I also watched many articles such as "5, 10, 20... best extensions" for Visual Studio. It seemed to me most of the items from the list are rarely used.

          Somewhat helpful:
          Hide Suggestions And Outlining Margins: removes whitespace at the beginning of lines, near the line numbers.

          Editor Guidelines: adds a vertical line at a given column, I have it at 80. This allows me to comfortably have the project explorer on the left, two editor panes and the test explorer on the right.

          Also, Macros for Visual Studio (it lets you to record and replay keyboard macros). Really handy tool for me

            Be sure I'll try this plugins. Macro seems to be very useful.

              You can use IntelliCode, it's good plugin for novice programmers. Also, I use VLD, Deleaker or standard debugger.

                Thanks for participating. I researched your recommendations. I will use not all the plugins, but some of them I added in VS
