VS2019 16.10.0
.netfx Winform project.
This icon shows the inheritance chain/margin and was added in version 16.10 of Visual Studio. From the 16.10 release notes for Visual Studio:
There is now a visual representation for navigating and inspecting the inheritance chain. This option is off by default so you will need to turn it on in Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Advanced and select Show inheritance margin. Enabling inheritance margin will add new icons to the margins representing your code’s implementations and overrides. Clicking on the inheritance margin icon will display inheritance options that you can select to navigate to.
Sure enough, if you navigate to the option in the tools menu, it is at the bottom:
I would check your settings for this - it should be off by default, meaning somehow it was turned on for you. The icon should show the inheritance chain if you click on it. If it isn't, perhaps turn the option off and back on, or restart Visual Studio (it's experimental apparently, so it could be bugged).

Visual Studio 2022 displays symbolic colored icons in the gutter next to line numbers, e.g.
I find the icons distracting and not particularly useful. They seem to be related to code structure — e.g. object inheritance and method overrides — which I can already understand from looking at the code.
Is there a way to "declutter my gutter" by hiding these particular icons?
I'm not talking about the code folding icons, or breakpoint icons. These are more or less useful, and less visually distracting.
Visual Studio version used: Preview Version 17.3.0 Preview 2.0
These icons are the "Inheritance Margin" icons. You can disable them by going to Options → Text Editor → C# → Advanced and uncheck the "Show inheritance margin" option:
I couldn't find a relevant checkbox or setting in the Tools > Options or Tools > Customize, and the VSIX extensions I could find are too radical and remove the entire title bar, which is not what I want. The quick search toolbar also doesn't help. I just want to remove the "Sign in" button as I don't use an account and it eats up valuable space in my already cramped main toolbar and the project name gets ellipsized in the middle.
You can remove the “Sign in” control from Visual Studio 2019 title bar installing my Visual Commander extension and importing Hide Sign in (VS 2019) extension.
I don't have enough rep to comment, so this is not truly meant as an answer (unless it IS...), but have you looked around in this Customize area yet:
Also, my menu is not set up as you describe: Tools > Options or Tools > Customize.
Mine is Tools > Customize, or Tools > Options.
When working in Visual Studio 2017, it would be handy to have access to the Source Control dialog to "Undo Checkout" when you right click on the tab for an open document. We frequently work with complex solutions where files we work on concurrently reside in many different folders. Finding and opening the folder for an opened file is annoying when the task I need to perform is an "Undo Checkout".
Reviewing these preferences, I don't see anything that would enable this type of feature from opened tabs.
Tools > Options > Environment > Tabs and Windows
Tools > Options > Source Control
Is what I'm requesting an available feature, and if so how can I enable it? Thanks.
I don't know of any way of altering the tabs in VS2017 without maybe a plug-in extension.
However, you can right-click on the editor window (where the code is displayed) and in the displayed context menu is a Source Control submenu which will offer the option to "Undo" if changes are pending.
Also, You can add the "Team Explorer" window to one of the sidebars or as a tab in an existing pop-out. I like to have Properties, Solution Explorer, and Team Explorer tabbed together and displayed to the side of the editor work area.
After upgrading to Visual Studio 2015, holding control while clicking on a symbol navigates to that symbol definition. In prior versions, this would instead select the entire word.
How can I disable the navigation event when CTRL + Click(ing) a symbol, so that it highlights the word?
I do have Resharper (Ultimate 9.2) installed. The configuration option under Environment -> Search & Navigation -> Go to Declaration on Control + Click in the editor is not checked.
All the search engine results make mention of this being a feature of the Productivity Power Tools extensions in previous versions of Visual Studio. I do not have that extension installed.
I found my solution in the "Options - Text Editor - General" settings. This was on VS 2017 thou.
To disable navigation to symbol definitions in VS2015,
this one worked for me.
With Resharper Ultimate 2016.3.1, I could fix the issue by disabling "Rich mouse navigation in the editor". It can be found in Resharper Options window, under Environment > Search & Navigation.
Maybe updating Resharper could solve the issue.
Also, Productivity Power Tools is not installed on my machine.
In vs 2017 this setting is available in Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> General -> Enable mouse click to perform Go to Definition.
You can uncheck it!
Go to ReSharper Options > Environment > Search & Navigation, then uncheck the following options:
Rich mouse navigation in the editor
Enable 'Smart go to declaration'
I finally solved it following the info I found on this page..

Ensure you are using Visual Studio as your resharper keyboard scheme.
Environment -> Keyboard & Menus
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
To stop the go to declaration, select it and input a new key short cut for it. In this image I have demonstrated that I changed this short cut to ctr num 1 and could not change it to ctr num 3. On testing crt click does not no take me to the declaration.
Find the shortcut you want to remove, in this case Edit.NavigateTo and remove.
An update for Productivity Power Tools + VS2017. Instead of having settings for this feature, a separate plugin gets installed. So after installing PPTs, you'll have a new extension called Ctrl+Click Go To Definition. Not sure why we need that tool considering it's baked into VS, but...
Anyway, Disabling that extension (plus the other things mentioned in other comments for VS and Resharper) fixed my ctrl+click woes.
To switch to the Visual C# keyboard mapping scheme
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Expand Environment, and then click Keyboard.
Select Visual C# 2005 from the Apply the following application
keyboard mapping scheme drop-down list.
or you can do
Keyboard: CTRL + W
also plugin can be used
Keyboard Shortcut Exporter
you can import/export keymapping file
This question relates to this ReSharper YouTrack issue.
In Visual Studio 2010 with ReSharper 7.1.1 installed, if I go to Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard, there is a command called ReSharper_SilentCleanupCode.
I would like to bind this command to a toolbar button.
This seems to be impossible using Tools > Customize > Commands because the only commands available within this dialog are for actions that already have an associated menu item. The particular ReSharper command I'm interested in (Silent Code Cleanup) doesn't appear in any menu, so it cannot be assigned to a toolbar button using the "GUI".
Is there any other way to bind a keyboard-only command to a toolbar button? (One of ReSharper's programmers thought the "VS script editor" could be used, but I'm not having any luck finding info on this.)
Edit
I should have mentioned this in the first place. While azhrei's macro solution is great for Visual Studio 2010, it will break once I upgrade to VS 2012, because macros are no longer supported. If someone has a solution that will continue to work in VS 2012, that would be preferable. (Or perhaps VS 2012 toolbars don't have the same limitation in the first place?)
Add a macro that executes the command, then add the macro to a toolbar.
This works because it makes the keyboard-only command appear in the Macros menu in the Customize Commands dialog.
Details
Add a macro which does this:
Sub _ReSharper_SilentCleanupCode()
DTE.ExecuteCommand("ReSharper_SilentCleanupCode")
End Sub
Put this macro in a module which appears in Customize..Commands..AddCommand..Categories..Macros, such as Samples or MyMacros.RecordingModule, but not MyMacros.Module1 (the default when using the macro IDE).
Go to Tools..Customize..Command and select the Toolbar you want.
Now Add Command... and select the Macros category.
Select your Macros.Samples._ReSharper_SilentCleanupCode macro.
Click Modify Selection and change the name to #-) or whatever text makes you think ReSharper Silent Code Cleanup without being too long for your toolbar. :-)
I tried this with Visual Studio 2010 and ReSharper 7.1.2.
Edit
Visual Commander is a apparently way to get this going on VS2012 as well - see comments below for more.
