Welcome Back! I hope you enjoy the content on this site. If you have not done so already, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or become a fan of this blog on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!

These are some of my favorite and most used shortcuts in visual studio:

  1. Ctrl + - and the opposite Ctrl + Shift + -  To move the cursor back or forward to the last position without having to scroll or switch  files.
  2. Shift+Alt+Enter Switches to Full Screen Mode
  3. Ctrl+K, Ctrl+C Comment a block,   Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U Uncomment the block
  4. Shift + Alt + F10 then Enter expands the smart tag to insert a using statement or implement an Interface
  5. Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D Auto format the file (Source, xml or  html)
  6. Ctrl+M, Ctrl+ O Collapses all outlining to  definition and then Ctrl+M, Ctrl+M to toggle the current block to expanded or collapsed.

What about you what are your favorites. I would like this post to become a repository for the most used Visual Studio Shortcuts. So do share

Hope This Helps!
