How to exit a closing quotation mark - visual-studio

After typing ScaleX= the cursor moves to the inside of two quotation marks. After typing whatever is needed inside them - how do I exit the closing quotation mark without having to click on the right-arrow button (which is more cumbersome than using Enter or Tab or just typing a quotation mark, which I expected to work)?

There are settings that help you in Disabling these options for Visual Studio.
For Xaml
1) Go to Tools -> Options
2) Click on Show All Settings if it is unchecked.
3) Under Text Editor Navigate to XAML
4) Under Miscellaneous, Turn On/Off the options.
This is a screenshot of my Settings.

Go to definition in new tab without changing the view

When I do command + click on visual studio or right click and "go to definition", the file containing the definition opens in a new tab and I automatically see this file. So I change the view if the file containing the definition is another file.
Is it possible when I do this command to stay on the same file I was while still opening the other file in another tab?
Thank you for you answer.
Preferences >> Settings >> Workbench >> Editor >> Enable Preview >> Uncheck/false
If you're capable to actually go to the definition you are looking for what is called the "Peek Definition". VS Code is highly customizable so how you have it configured it could do something different.
What I think you're looking for is Ctrl + Left Mouse Click or Alt + F12.
This should tell you more, VS Code Peek Definition
Double clicking on the tab name also works if you don't want to disable preview feature of editor. Double clicked tab becomes persistent.
You can also peek definition with Alt + F12 (be sure to highlight its symbol / invocation first).
This opens the definition in a smaller resizable tab (resizable down to ~4 lines of code) and allows editing if needed.
Example (source):
Taken from:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/editingevolved#_go-to-definition
If a language supports it, you can go to the definition of a symbol by pressing F12.
If you press Ctrl and hover over a symbol, a preview of the declaration will appear.
Tip: You can jump to the definition with Ctrl+Click or open the definition to the side >with Ctrl+Alt+Click.

Rearrange Code shortcut in Resharper doesn't work in VS2015

When I try to use the shortcut for moving lines up/down (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+↑/↓), it highlights the code and shows the tooltip message "Use Up/Down to move text line" but nothing happens. If however I try the same command via the menu bar (Resharper > Edit > Rearrange Code > Move Up) it moves the selected lines as expected.
I used to use this feature all the time so I find this bug very annoying. Apparantly, others also experience this (see comments for Resharper move line up down not working) but I haven't been able to find a solution for it. Resetting keyboard layouts and reapplying VS keyboard schemes doesn't work.
Has anyone been able to resolve this issue?
[EDIT]
Reason of this is issue (when you are logging to machine with VS and Resharper via Remote Desktop) is that Ctrl-Alt-Left Arrow/Ctrl-Alt-Right Arrow combinations are not sent to your virtual machine
There are two workarounds:
My first soultion (change combination see below)
You can use AutoHotKey script as stated in thread:
https://superuser.com/questions/327866/remote-desktop-sending-ctrl-alt-left-arrow-ctrl-alt-right-arrow-to-the-remote-p
[/EDIT]
Reason is
duplication of the same hotkeys which could be found in 'Shortcut currently used by:' combobox
Fix is
I described process for _MoveRight shortcut - for other shortcuts it works the same
STEP 1 Check for conflicting changes
seeImage
go to Tool --> Options --> Keyboard
in field 'Show commands containing' find your command (moveright in example)
click in field 'Press shortcut keys' press ALT + RIGHT ARROW
in field Shortcut currently used by you will find conflicting shortcut -
Edit.CompleteWord...
STEP 2 Now we need to delete this shortcut
in field 'Show commands containing' write Edit.CompleteWord
you should see ALT + RIGHT ARROW shortcut in field 'Shortcuts for selected command
click Remove button
STEP 3 Now we need to add our shortcut to _MoveRight function
in field 'Show commands containing' find your command (moveright in example)
click in field 'Press shortcut keys' press ALT + RIGHT ARROW
click Assign

Remove pilcrow from SQL Worksheet [duplicate]

I don't know what the hotkey I accidentally clicked, but this Ǧ looking sign appeared on every line of code, and there are grey dots instead of spaces in the code.
How can I get rid of those characters?
Assuming this is SQL Developer, go to Tools->Preferences (or on Mac, find that under the SQL Developer menu). Expand the Code Editor section and click on Display. Untick "Show whitespace characters" (second checkbox in the list).
You can check for defined shortcuts under Preferences, in the Shortcut Keys section. On Mac there isn't one for this, but Windows has it as Control+Shift+W, which will also toggle them off if you don't want to go through the preference pane.

Visual Studio: how to make pressing tab key indent the whole line

Is there a way to configure a keyboard shortcut in Visual Studio such that tab (or some other key combo) indent the whole line (rather than insert a tab character/spaces at the cursor)?
Trying to determine whether Visual Studio is the dream editor
EDIT
I'm an experienced VS user, I know about the standard behavior, just curious whether it can be configured with the interesting tab behavior described in the link.
Increase indent:
Select / highlight line(s) or press Home
Press tab
Decrease indent:
Select / highlight line(s) or press Home
Press shift + tab
If you want to add a shortcut to do the same from anywhere in the line without selecting it then you can add a shortcut in Options -> Environment -> Keyboard. There'll be a list of commands including Edit.IncreaseLineIndent and Edit.DecreaseLineIndent. I couldn't find a good key combination for a shortcut though which wasn't already being used for something else. You can't use just tab by itself.

Get the autocompletion popup to appear when typing in the text editor

Like Visual Studio, I want the code completion menu to popup immediately after I start typing.
I don't mean the completion inline - I mean I want the same window that popups when you press esc to appear.
Is there anyway of doing this?
The code completion settings are in Xcode Preferences (shortcut: command-comma) -> Code Sense. I don't think you can make the actual pop-up list (as oppose to the completion line) appear without hitting escape.
