Is it possible to create shortcut to Visual Studio 2013 Help Viewer? It is possible to start if from Visual Studio IDE, Help menu. I want to run it, for example, from a desktop shortcut.
In previous Visual Studio versions there are shortcuts in Windows start menu, for example: "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Documentation". 2013 doesn't have such shortcut.
Help Viewer is located at %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Help Viewer\v2.1\HlpView.exe. Just create a shortcut to it. HlpView.exe requires some parameters,
Usage: HlpViewer.exe /catalogName [/options]
it gives a sample:
HlpViewer.exe /catalogName VisualStudio12 /locale en-us
Personally, I don't use Help Viewer and it doesn't have any content on my computer. Just try it on your machine.
I installed Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2012 and I guess one feature is either missing or turned off. I mean the tooltip that appears when howering on the classname and method name.
Here are the screens of what I mean. This is from VS 2010.
How can I turn on the same feature in the Visual Studio 2012 or is it just removed from this version of IDE?
The Solution Navigator has been incorporated into Visual Studio 2012 and is no longer part of the Productivity Power Tools extension. There also doesn't seem to be any way to enable interactive tooltips.
In Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 you used to be able to mouse over the toolbar and a tooltip would pop up showing the associated shortcut key if you turned on the feature. This feature seems to be missing in VS 2010.
Method to configure this feature in 2005 and 2008: Display keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio context menus
Suzanne Hanson from Microsoft indicated in a post that for 2010, this feature would not be configurable and would be turned on by default. http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/489554/toolbar-icons-tool-tips-missing-shortcut-hint.
Does anyone have this feature turned on? Could it just be that my Visual Studio Version is out-dated? (Help -> About reports Visual Studio 2010 v. 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel)
The tooltips are there by default (at least in my version Visual Studio 2010 v. 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel). If you don't see them, try repairing/reinstalling. That fixed it for me.
In Visual Studio 2010 you can drag tabs out to separate windows but you can not collect them together as additional tabbed elements. Is there a VS 2010 add-on to allow you to group your extra windows into tabs? It would be really nice to have a set of tabs on each of my monitors.
The best place to look is the Visual Studio Gallery for 2010 Extensions. If you are lucky someone else has already had the idea and created an extension (VSIX) for you.
Otherwise, why do you have a go at writing it yourself by grabbing a copy of the Visual Studio 2010 SDK and read the Getting Started Guide.
UPDATE: I just stumbled on this awesome Visual Studio Extension that may do want you are looking for: Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools.

Productivity Power Tools does it, and it's free. The feature is called Document Well.
I 've had a list of Visual Studio 2008 keyboard shortcuts pinned to my wall for quite some time - http://nerdfortress.s3.amazonaws.com/visual-studio-2008-keyboard-shortcuts.html.
Does anyone know of a similar thing for Visual Studio 2010?
Scott Guthrie just posted about this. You can download a list of shortcuts directly from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=92ced922-d505-457a-8c9c-84036160639f
