When I press Shift-E in Visual Studio 2013 Professional I see on the bottom right (Shift+E) was pressed. Waiting for second key of chard...
All I'm trying to do is type "Export". How can I make this go back to the default behavior?
Just happened to me as well.. there is another Q with an answer showing the problem.

This is my toolbar:
How can I lock the Visual Studio toolbar so that the element groups are not movable? From time to time the order changes. This is a bit annoying :D
I can't find the settings for this. I'm using Visual Studio 2019
As far as I know it is not possible to lock the actual element groups or toolbars themselves as discussed in another post here: Lock down placement of panes from visual studio
As described you can reset the 'stock' layout however with the following command:
Window -> Reset Windows Layout
Hope this answers your question.
Best regards
A keyboard shortcut that I've used frequently going back several Visual Studio versions is Ctrl+Shift+8 to go back to where I was, after doing a F12 to Go To Definition.
In Visual Studio 2015, pressing Ctrl+Shift+8 doesn't seem to do anything.
Opening up Visual Studio 2013 and looking at the Tools | Customize | Keyboard dialog, Ctrl+Shift+8 is mapped to the command View.PopBrowseContext. In Visual Studio 2015, Ctrl+Shift+8 has that same command mapping, but the command doesn't seem to work.
Is there a way to get the View.PopBrowseContext command to navigate back after doing a Go To Definition (F12) in Visual Studio 2015?
Visual Studio 2015 Connect -> View.PopBrowseContext command and others doesn't work (issue removed from Connect site by Microsoft)
Issue on GitHub -> Bring back Go to Definition Navigation Stack #14496
View.NavigateBackward (Ctrl+-) is not good replacement for View.PopBrowseContext (Ctrl+Shift+8). If you invoke Edit.GoToDefinition (F12) and then click a few times with the mouse moving the cursor around, all those moves are recorder in the navigation stack.
View.PopBrowseContext (Ctrl+Shift+8) redirects directly to the previous definition (the place that you invoked Edit.GoToDefinition (F12) last).
View.PopBrowseContext
Edit.GoToReference
View.BrowseNext
View.BrowsePrevious
Edit.GoToDeclaration
View.ForwardBrowseContext
Note: these commands were broken in Visual Studio 2015. Still do not work in Visual Studio 2017.
A workaround in Visual Studio 2015 is to press CTRL+- instead (mapped to the View.NavigateBackward command) to go back after a F12 press, instead of trying to use View.PopBrowseContext / Ctrl+Shift+8. (Reference)
When you first start Visual Studio, it offers you a choice of typical usage (not sure how it's called exactly): C++, C#, etc. I believe the initial keyboard binding depends on that choice.
I used FeinCtrl and noticed that View.PopBrowseContext is mapped to Ctrl+Num *, and it works just fine. The Ctrl+Shift+8 is mapped to Edit.ViewWhiteSpace for me...
Do you by chance have a conflict, when another command in a different scope is papped to the same shortcut keys?
I am trying to learn Visual Basic with the guidance of some YouTube Tutorials. They have recommended the use of Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 as it has a built in compiler. I encountered a problem where my toolbox bar on the left of my screen is empty. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just right click inside tools and click on "show all"
Your code may be running. Make sure to stop all processes and view the toolbox again.
On Visual Studio C++ 2012, it also happen sometimes. Try, to right click inside the Toolbox dialog and click on "Reset Toolbox" item. It should solve your problem.

What you need to do is to open your code in [Design] view. In this view you don't see the code as text, but rather as windows and buttons and so on.
Choose your favorite way to switch to the [Design] view :
A. View > Designer
B. Shift + F7
C. In the Solution Explorer window double click Form1.cs

How do I open a Visual Studio project in design view?
I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel. I've seen that others have this issue with Visual Studio 2012 as well.
When in the expression editor, I lose focus if I use the arrow keys or the TAB key. There is a workaround here involving holding ALT while you use the arrows, but I can't do a CTRL-over and I still can't use the TAB key. Not to mention that holding the ALT key is annoying.
This causes a decent slowdown of development, especially when I lose focus, hit the backspace key a couple times quickly, and all of a sudden I've canceled out of the Dataset formulas and lost all of my work.
Does anyone know how to use these keys without losing focus?
Apparently this is caused by some of the visual studio add-ins. OP had success with disabling the Productivity Power Tools, but in my VS 2012 install, disabling and uninstalling those didn't recover the use of the left arrow in the SSRS expression window. It may also be caused by JetBrains ResSharper.
Jamie F's post should solve the problem in VS 2010, but the corresponding issue in VS 2012 is mentioned in this connect bug and is to be fixed in the next update of SSRS
The title pretty much explains the whole question. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Premium, I like the Navigate Backward command for when I right click on something and do go to definition and then I want to go back to where I was Navigate Backward works. But I'm so used to my mouse button button doing that, I've noticed I've starting using it in Visual Studio and expecting it to go back but it doesn't. I know how to change the command to a different key press, but is there a way to make it work on a mouse button?
This seems to be a (pointless) Limitation of the C++ IDE in Visual Studio. In C# the mouse buttons work as expected, but not in C++.
There are several Addins for Visual Studio to cover this functionality, I'll point you to the one that I found in this answer:

This Add-In worked for me. I could also upgrade it to Visual Studio 2012 by simply changing the Version-Tag in the Addin-file to "11.0".
