When I select TortoiseGit and Settings I have the options to configure what options are available in the context menu.
Nothing I change takes any effect. My original goal was to add the "Add Ignore" option to the context menu but it's already selected and does not show. If I remove other items they are not removed so my changes are not taking effect.
I'm trying to right click on the "node_modules" folder, select "TortoiseGit" then "Add to ignore list".
Am I missing something here? Is it possible that the "context" menu in "Settings" is not the same as the context menu displayed when right clicking on a folder and selecting "TortoiseGit"?

I'm using Visual Studio 2017, and I really need a menu with useful buttons in the toolbar, now when I got into the customization menu TOOLS -> Customize -> Commands.
I made a custom menu "MY_MENU" and menu item "Close Project", but for some reason I just can't move the menu item into the menu (see picture). How do I do this?
I believe I had the same problem as the questioner, and managed to solve it, details below.
Note: I use Visual Studio 2015 Professional, but this should apply to later versions as well.
Scenario
I created a new Toolbar FooToolBar, and placed to the toolbars like this:
Goal
To place the "Solution explorer" icon inside the menu.
Problem
Inside the Customize window you can't just drag&drop the item to the menu:
Solution
Inside the Toolbar combobox, a new item appeared, select that:
After this, you will see a new area where you should place the icon you wanted to.
Also, remove the previous icon from the previous, FooToolBar toolbar item.
After doing this, press OK and it will work.
Result
I hope I helped someone. :-)
Warning: After you customize a toolbar or menu, make sure that its check box remains selected in the Customize dialog box. Otherwise, your changes won't persist after you close and reopen Visual Studio.

Adding, removing, or moving a toolbar
On the menu bar, choose Tools, Customize.
The Customize dialog box opens.
On the Toolbar tab, perform one of the following sets of steps:

Customizing a menu or a toolbar
On the menu bar, choose Tools, Customize.

In the Add Command dialog box, choose an item in the Categories list, choose an item in the Commands list, and then choose the OK button.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but can the context menu in windows that appears when you right click be removed and just have it perform one function. For example... if I right click over an input I see a menu with options: undo,cut,copy,paste,delete. I want no menu to appear and right click to do one thing only, PASTE. I don't want to choose paste from a menu, just do it instantly when I right click.
I used to be able to right click and select find all references for a method or something and then that box would open and show me all of the places in my code where it was being used. All of the sudden if I right click I no longer get that option.
This is still in all recent versions of Visual Studio. Cntl+K, R is the keyboard shortcut. If it's not appearing in your context menu, it is something specific to your VS configuration/settings.
You can edit your context menu's by the following:
Goto Tools->Customize
Select the Commands tab
Select the Context menu radio button
Select the appropriate context menu from the dropdown list to the right: (Editor Context Menus | Code Window or Other Context Menus | Code Window)
Add or delete context menu items as desired.
When adding a context menu command, the Find All References command is located under the Edit section.
Is there a way of adding other options (specifically Add Interface) to the projects right click context menu (Right Click a project > Add > [Class, new Item, new form,...])?
I found one option in the customize dialog to place an 'Add Interface...' item in, but this is always disabled. I found that one under the Projects category of menu customization, so i assumed it would work...
Any ideas?
I'm currently trialing ReSharper, and that has it's own set of Create New context menu entries (which are key bindable), and these support everything I am after.
The ReSharper "Create New" dialogue is a lot faster to respond than the in built Visual Studio one too.
How does one preserve the settings in the Open Dialog box? For example, I would the Open Dialog to remember that I chose the Details view and sorted by date modified.
Microsoft didn't see fit to give us any documented way of doing this, but some people have figured out bits of the puzzle. This link shows how to set the view, but not how to get the current setting:

I'm not quite sure about this about isn't it an OS setting. If the user choose their Folder Preferences such as then Windows will remember or not. In this case from accessibility and usability point of view this is User's preferences.
You could inherit from the dialog's class and then see what can be overriden to do the persistence of its state.
Simple non-technical solution.
This worked for me (WinXP SP3) in some cases but not all. Since you don't have the option of changing things in a common Open dialog, you can try to do it in Windows Explorer.
Open Windows Eplorer. If you want to change the sort order, go to the details view and click on the column to sort, normally Name, but you may want to sort by Date. Now change
the view back to whatever you want. Now select "Tools" then "Folder Options". On the General tab, for "Tasks" select "Use Windows classic folders," for "Browse folders" select "Open each folder in same window." Now click the "View" tab. Scroll down and check the box for "Remember each folders view settings." If it's already checked, uncheck it then check it again. Click the "Apply" Button at the botton of the window. Click the "Apply to All Folders" button near the top. These settings may show up in your Open dialog. Having done this you can now change the settings in Windows Explorer or any other Folder window that allows you to change them and that Folder window should remember them. This fixed the Open dialog in my qraphics editor but not in my video editor.
