Visual Studio Shortcuts V2

23 Jan 2006 by Carl Camera

Productivity gains are close at hand Visual Studio users. Keeping your hands on the keyboard is critical to speeding up the development process.

I've updated the Visual Studio shortcuts crib sheet to include the standard debugging function keys as well as some rearranging and improving the font size. Enjoy!

I also included directions on how to create a new shortcut key to Pin and Unpin slide-in toolbars.

I consider this a big oversight within the development environment not to include pin/unpin in the standard set of shortcuts. When debugging, I constantly want to pin a watch window or a call stack window temporarily then unpin it after I'm done. I chose CTRL+ALT+Y because I think the letter Y looks somewhat like a pushpin.

About Carl

Hi, I'm Carl Camera. I'm a front-end web developer and designer.

I've been involved in web development since 1996 helping to launch some of the earliest web applications. Nowadays I oversee development of large websites that are viewed more than ten million times daily.

I think websites should be easy to understand and use. If a website is a source of frustration, it is both a user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) failure. This blog has been created to further the craft of web design and user interaction.

Exploration

As screen resolutions become denser, websites face the challenge of filling pixels without wasting bandwidth.

What you're seeing here are two images specifically tailored both to the size of the slot they are to fill, and the pixel density of the screen in front of you. The dimensions of the images delivered are shown in the second slot. You can alter the image dimensions by resizing your desktop browser or by turning your phone or tablet sideways and refreshing the page.

All images of the photograph are generated from single full-resolution 7712×4352 pixel image – Two megabytes in size. Read more...
