I'm aware that if I navigate to Tools>Options>Text Editor>(language)>Display I can check "Navigation bar" to show this bar.
My question is, what's the keyboard shortcut for it?
(I'm pretty sure there is one, because during a flurry of misguided keystrokes earlier on, I managed to make it disappear, and of course "Undo" didn't undo that change. Welcome to Visual Studio.)
The Navigation Bar is the item highlighted in yellow below:
There is an easy shortcut to select the Navigation Bar:
But there is no out-of-the-box shortcut to show/hide it. Maybe you have an extension installed which provides this feature?

I am using Visual Studio (Not VSCode), and am trying to set some keybindings to alt+, but I can't because alt automatically focuses on the menubar, so things like alt+w open Window. How do I turn this off?
So apparently if you rebind the alt+ menu focus shortcuts it will just manually override it, no issues. Alt+W for example only focuses on Window if Alt+W is not already binded to something else. The moment you add a custom shortcut for Alt+W the menu focus goes away.
Nice.
I recently moved up from MSVS2010 to 2013.
Until now, I was loving 2013... However, I locked my PC and went to make coffee - upon my return, my navigation bar had randomly disappeared!
I'm not sure if what I mean is actually called the "Navigation bar" - by this, I mean the drop-down list in the top right corner that allows you to jump between functions/subroutines etc. really easily.
I saw this post which mentioned changing the setting in options (the navigation bar option is checked in my options). It also mentions that MSVS2013 has a bug that removes the bar when using an external monitor on the left of your native monitor, this is the case for me - but I have disconnected the monitor, restarted my PC and tried again - no joy!
The image below shows where the bar normally goes, forgive my crude censorship.
Any help is more than welcome, thanks.
I know that you can go window -> preferences -> aptana studio -> [language] -> "mark occurrences with background color" checkbox.
But there used to be (in an earlier version I'm pretty sure, but definitely in vanilla Eclipse) a toolbar button to enable/disable this for all editors.
Anyone know how to get that button back? This is a feature I like to toggle on/off frequently.
This button is available as late as Aptana Studio 3 (3.3.2.201302081546) - perhaps you are using a Perspective that does not include it? Web has it, Debug does not...
You can customize your perspective so that it shows this button under Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective, under Tool Bar Visibility the 'Mark Occurrences' menu item is under Editor Presentation
I have changed navigation of cursor in text editor as described in this question Rebinding the arrow keys in VS2010
I can't find same shortcuts for other windows.
For example navigation up/down in solution explorer.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change these shortcuts?
Thanks.
Here is an article that features how to activate arrow keys(plus home and end keys) globally for all programs on the main keyboard via changing Caps Lock key behavior.

The default setting for Visual Studio tabs is when mouse over it, the window will popup. This is annoying sometimes when I don't want the window displayed. Is there any way to disable this auto popup and just display when I click it? Please advise, thanks.
In native visual studio there is no way do disable this behaviour.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z4y0hsax.aspx for detailed information.
Regard the note: "Tool windows that have Auto Hide enabled may temporarily slide into view when the window has focus. To hide the window again, select an item outside of the current window. When the window loses focus, it slides back out of view."
Seems they know, that it's a annoying behaviour, but don't offer a sensible solution. Microsoft...
