I can't seem to find the find and replace in a current selection in Visual Studio 2013 - Community Edition.
Does it have this kind of functionality?
The only choices when I press Ctrl+Shift+F are the following-
Try selecting some text (ie. your current selection), and pressing Ctrl + h (find and replace shortcut). Below is a VS 2010 screenshot, however VS 2013 works the same; the only major difference is the dialog box.

I'd love to be able to press CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc. to select open tabs in the editor by index. Does anyone know if this is possible in Visual Studio 2019?
Apparently this is possible in Visual Studio Code, but I haven't been able to find anything for Visual Studio. The best I could find is an extension that lets you select previous / next, but not by index.
In Visual Studio Code, when using Ctrl F in a file, the editor shows the "current of total" of the searched string. Is there a way to enable this in Visual Studio 2019?
VS Code:
Visual Studio 2019 Preview:
Instead of Ctrl+F use Ctrl+Shift+F, this will open the Find in Files option, select Current Document and search.
The results will now appear in a new window and you will get the count at the bottom of the window.
I don't think there's an option to show this count in Quick Find, at least not in Visual Studio for Windows. In Visual Studio for Mac this is the default behaviour:
I'm using VS 2010, 2012 & 2013.
Usually I don't want the IDE to auto-focus on the item in solution explorer but sometimes it's useful.
Is there any keyboard shortcut or a menu option to navigate to the file in solution explorer on demand?
Thanks :)
For VS 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017:
"Sync with Active Document" (default shortcut: Ctrl+[, S).
I know your question refers to 2010, 2012 & 2013, but VS 2017 has a button on the solution explorer to sync with active document:
Go to Tools/Options/Enviroment/keyboard look for View.TrackActivityinSolutionExplorer and assign the shortcut that you want.
Here I needed to remove the shortcut first, because the ctrl+shift+t was already assigned.
Of course, you can assign other shortcut.
I wanted to mimic the functionality in Eclipse where you can press CTRL + SHIFT + R to open a file, I read that this is possible but when I opened my own Visual Studio 2010 instance, I noticed that it was not contained in the Show Commands Containing search of the Keyboard options menu.
Has the name of this functionality changed in Visual Studio 2010?
I found Sonic File Finder which does the same thing:
http://www.jens-schaller.de/sonictools/sonicfilefinder/index.htm
In the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE, it was possible to navigate to the start of the next (previous) subroutine or function by pressing CTRL + Down Arrow (Up Arrow). This does not work in VS2010.
Is there another key combination for this?
Can it (has it) be (been) implemented?
look on the Visual studio keyboard shortcuts released by Microsoft
