I've been using VSCode a lot lately and have gotten used to the keys-shortcuts/key-bindings (Ctrl+D, Ctrl+P, Alt+leftArrow, etc). However I've recently had some work where I needed to use regular Visual Studio (Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2019) and it's painful remembering two different shortcut keys.
Is there a way to import VSCode key-shortcuts to into regular Visual Studio?
I've looked at this question and there wasn't much help besides manually changing them one at a time.
UPDATE: now the above post answers the question now that I posed Francois du Plessis's answer there.
If you go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard. There should be an option to select Visual Studio Code as a Keyboard mapping scheme
You can create your own settings file based on an existing Visual Studio file.
Simply add your settings to it from VSCode keybinding setting file.
VSCode's keybinding settings is stored in keybindings.json json-formated file.
open file in menu
File->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
or on Windows file path like that
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Code\..\keybindings.json
Visual Studio's keybinding settings is stored in CurrentSettings.vssettings xml-formated file.
on VS menu:
Tools->Import and Export Settings
then select 'Import select environment setting' radiobutton and click 'Next'
you'll see browser for import your file.
on Windows file path like that
C:\Users\<user name>\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Settings\

Make Visual Studio use VS code shortcut keys/key bindings
A couple of days ago I resetted Visual Studio settings. All keyboard shortcuts were assigned to their default values. I applied IntelliJ IDEA scheme back but it seems like some Visual Studio shortcuts are not removed and some ReSharper shortcuts are not added.
I had to remove a bunch of Visual Studio shortcuts starting with Ctrl+E to make the ReSharper Ctrl+E shortcut work(same issues with Ctrl+R shortcuts and more). How can I make sure those unwanted shortcuts are removed?
Try the following in succession:
Go to Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard, and click Reset
for the default scheme.
Go to ReSharper > Options > Environment > Visual Studio
Integration, choose ReSharper 2.x or IntelliJ IDEA and click
Apply Scheme.
I ended up exporting keyboard settings from my computer at home. It seems like ReSharper can't apply its scheme back.
I'm running Visual Studio 2010 (10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel) with ReSharper 5.1 (5.1.3000.12). Recently, it seems as though ReSharper has completely lost the ability to navigate to a type.
Here are some actions I can take in the UI that now do nothing:
Right-click on type name in code
editor and select "Go To
Declaration"
Right-click on type name in code
editor and select "Go To
Implementation"
R# "Go to type" (Ctrl-T)
In the R# "Find Results" window, double-clicking a type
Here are some actions that still work:
Double-clicking an item in Solution Explorer
Opening a file from VS Command Window
I've completely uninstalled Visual Studio, then reinstalled it with SP1, and ReSharper 5.1, and I still have the same problem.
I'm assuming there's some kind of configuration open that I've done that is disabling the ability to navigate to a type with ReSharper, I just can't figure out what it is.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
I just experienced this problem. None of the previous suggestions worked for me unfortunately, but I managed to resolve it:
Go to Resharper -> Options
Under Keyboard Shortcuts, temporarily switch to a different scheme than the one selected
Press 'Apply Scheme' button then press Save
hen repeat, but this time select the scheme you actually want and press 'Apply Scheme'
Hopefully that fixes it!
I am using VS 2010 SP1 (same as you)
Delete the Resharper temp files in the same location as your solution file. The folder name will be something like _ReSharper.SomeSolution
Failing that, try one of the R# nightly builds here altho it should work with your current config.
I use both eclipse and visual studio (2008 right now) a lot. But there are some shortcut keys from eclipse that I really miss in Visual Studio that I haven't been able to locate. Does anyone know if these exists in Visual Studio?
Being able to search in your open window tabs - this is Ctrl+E in eclipse I think? I know you can navigate, but not search.
open type
open type heirarchy
open resource
move selected lines up or down (Alt+Up/Down)
move to last edited line (NOT Ctrl+- / Ctrl+Shift+- in VS and not Ctrl+Z, which only works if you're in the same file?)
If they don't exist, anyone got a good resource on how you can program shortcuts yourself for VS?
Just published new extension for Visual Studio:
Meet IntelliCommand (Visual Studio 2010/2012 extension)
This may help you for the moving of selected lines: Visual Studio: hotkeys to move line up/down and move through recent changes
Still searching on the others.
There is an "AsEclipse" plugin that should provide most functionality:
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/99ede732-544c-4f3b-8e38-49e4b8395075
I am a first time user of VS. Open Resource and Open Type look to be pretty well covered by Search in Solution Explorer, which is accessed using Ctrl+;
Go to Settings keymaps and search for eclipse.
If you install Eclipse Keymap from Alphabot Security plugin in VS Code.
It has most of the shortcut from eclipse.
install telerik justcode... it has all shortcuts you just need to change them to be like in eclipse ... works like a charm after 15mins
I'm not sure if following are VS or ReSharper shortcuts:
open type heirarchy: Ctrl+E, Ctrl+H
move selected lines up or down: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT
To get eclipse like shortcuts in vscode:
Please go to:
Ctrl+Shift+p and type java: Overview
open overview using enter
there is option under Key Bindings
Use Eclipse Key Bindings
just click it.
and you will get all eclipse shortcuts in vscode
This is driving me crazy. Ever since I installed ReSharper 4, F12 no longer seems to work. If you look at the all the ReSharper short cuts in the Goto sub menu Declaration doesn't have any assigned!
The only way I can go to declaration is by using Alt and ` and then selecting Declaration.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing ReSharper with no luck, I have also, in ReSharper option asked it to use the default Visual Studio Key Bindings but that doesn't to work either.
Interestingly, when I do use Alt and ` I actually get two entries for the Declaration option.
Has anyone come across this problem?
I am using Visual Studio 2005 SP1.
I ran into the same issue and resolved it by first resetting my Visual Studio keyboard mappings:
Tools > Options > Keyboard > Reset
Then going into the ReSharper options and applying the scheme:
Resharper > Options > Visual Studio Integration > Apply Scheme
Update:
For VS2017 onwards:
Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard > Reset
For Resharper 2017.2:
Resharper > Options > Environment > Keyboard & Menus > Keyboard Shortcuts > Apply Scheme
I have had a few occasions where Resharper and Visual Studio keybindings got mixed up and I had problems sorting them out.
If it is only one or two bindings you care about then you can change them by going to the
Tools->Customize->Keyboard menu option.
For ReSharper 8 and Visual Studio 2012:
Tools > Options > Keyboard > Reset
Then going into the ReSharper options and applying the scheme:
Resharper > Options > Environment > Keyboard & Menus > (Select Visual Studio under Keyboard Shortcuts) > Apply Scheme > Save
I had this problem and it was resolved by following the steps described in the picture:
Open Visual Studio Tabs on the path: Tools>>Options>>Keyboard
Open Visual Studio Tabs on the path: Resharper>>Options>>Keyboard & Menus and Do the following:
And Then Reopen the path above and do the following:
Finally, close the Visual Studio and open it.
I had this issue in VS2015 using Resharper 9.1.3, I tried Ryan's answer but it still didn't work.
After doing the steps Ryan outlined, I clicked F12 where Resharper asks What do you want to do?, I select Use Visual Studio commands. Still doesn't work.
Tools > Options > Keyboard > Select ReSharper.ReSharper_GotoNextHighlight from command list box
Change Shortcuts for selected command to F12 (Text Editor), click Remove and OK.
After this it works!
Try simple way to enable it, press Fn + Esc key of the keyboard.
It is possible that you have enabled Fn mode (Blue Keys) on your keyboard which overrides default behavior of functional keys including F12.
I had the same problem with VS2013 and Resharper 9. I have a code like this:
gridList.Method1();
gridList.Method2();
I then right-click on any of gridList and click Find Usages (or just use Shift+F12) but it says "Usages not found" even though it is just one line away! Sometimes VS restart would help, sometimes it wouldn't. It looks like clearing the cache of Reshaper helps though: Resharper -> Options -> Environment -> General -> Clear Caches. This needs VS to be restarted, but then it started working as expected.
My problem was that I couldn't use the command "Alt + F12" when trying to "peek definition" in Visual Studio. I found out through another forum-thread that it was Nvidia's GeForce Experience that overrides some of the "Alt" shortcuts and uses them for their functionalities with screen recordings etc.
What solved it for me, was going into the GeForce Experience settings and switch off the use of in-game overlay:
Alternatively, if you want to use the overlay, you can just change the short cut commands.
For ReSharper Ultimate 2017.3.3 and Visual Studio 2017:
Tools > Options > Tools > External Sources > Default Visual Studio Navigation > Save
I ran into this problem after an organizational change that caused my windows profile to change. I tried the solutions listed above, but nothing seemed to work.
Here is how I fixed it (brute force worked!)
NOTE: Steps listed are for VS 2012 and ReSharper 7.1.3
Uninstalled Re-Sharper
Exit visual studio, ensure the process devenv.exe is no longer there in the running processes (was there in my case and I had to do a "End Process Tree" from Task Manager)
Fired up VS 2012, and from the menu Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard selected Visual C# 2005 (or any other setting you love) and pressed Reset
Shutdown VS again (and ensure devenv.exe has been killed in Task manager)
Re-installed re-sharper
Best of luck!
These steps solved it for me:
Uninstall keyboard in Device Manager
Re-insert your keyboard usb
"Web Essentials"
Add or update visual studio "Web Essentials" You can find it at:
Menu>>Tools>>Extensions and Updates
I hope this will save your time. It worked for me.
ReSharper added a crap 'good' new thing that they now call a feature: Smart Go To Declaration. As dumb as it may sound, it comes enabled by default: crap 'good'.
The feature is described on the link provided from here but honestly at least it should've keep it disabled, not reinvent the wheel. It also tells you how to disable that crap 'good' feature.
Sometimes it has noting to do with Visual Studio at all. Be sure your keyboard has its function key setting of the keyboard itself to send the F12 function to Visual Studio. It is an easy thing to miss.
I had just installed Pulover’s Macro Creator and F12 was set as the global hotkey to pause a macro. It was intercepting the keypress before it had a chance to get to VS.
Solution is to change that hotkey to something else. I chose Ctrl-F12. The input box is on the top right of the Pulover window.
Update 2020. I had the same problem and also tried a lot of ways, but that was still didn't working... [VS 2015, ReSharper 2019.3.1]
But, like Andrius said:
Resharper -> Options -> Environment -> General -> Clear Caches. This needs VS to be restarted, but then it started working as expected.
Summary is: (try steps above) + Resharper..-> Clear Caches + VS restart. Hope this will be useful
