This question might be stupid and nonsense for someone, but I can't find info about that.
Because I write apps in my native language, I always need to press Shift + Alt shortcut to change the language, but when I do, writing function "stops", and it highlights the "File" button: How Shift + Alt highlights File button
And I need to delete this shortcut, but I don't know how to do it.
(it means that I can't find this shortcut in the search).
Help please!
Is there any shortcut for CodeBlocks to format the code?
I haven't find any tip in google.
I found only "format use AStyle", but it come up with right mouse button only...
probably not by default but you should be able to assign it there:
Settings -> Editor -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Plugins -> Source code formatter (AStyle)
My favourite = Ctrl + A then Ctrl + Shift + F.
You (these are the default settings I believe) can select a block of code and press the Tab key. This will indent the entire block.
So for indenting a whole file: Ctrl + A, then Tab.
In addition, you can use Shift + Tab on a selected block to "unindent"
You can move through the open tabs with Ctrl + Shift + Tab.
As for the best shortcuts:
I like Ctrl + D to duplicate a line and
Ctrl + L to copy it.
Anyway, you can set whatever shortkeys you like in the Editor menu (there you will also be able to find all shortkey currently set).
From Eclipse i'm confortable with
F3 to enter a method and ALT + <-
In visual studio (2010) its F12 to enter the method, but how do i get back to the call, where i jumped in?
You can use Shift + F12 to list all references, and the original method will be listed.
Ctrl + - will navigate backward, whilst Ctrl + Shift + - will navigate forward (in the context of where you were working in your code).
Ctrl + , will allow you to search for a method to navigate to.
In my VS Code V 1.20.1 the shortcut is:
Ctrl + Alt + - for backward.
For going forward is Ctrl + Shift + -.
We can change these shortcuts just like in Eclipse by selecting the menu File -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts, and type on the search field for Go Back or Go Forward.
To do this on MacOS VS Code
^+- to go backward.
^ + shift + - to go forward.
Note that^ is control on your keyboard.

I want to delete a line just like hitting Ctrl + X without anything selected, but without saving the line to the copy stack. Is this possible?
I'm using Visual Studio 2010.
Edit.LineDelete is the name of the command. By default it's bound to Ctrl + Shift + L, but you can give it whatever you like in Tools | Options | Keyboard.
Edit: Corrected default shortcut info.
Ctrl + Shift + L will delete the line and not copy to the clipboard.
I mapped Ctrl + L (Global) to Edit.LineDelete. Otherwise, the shortcut key is Ctrl + Shift + L, which is awkward. Go to Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard as shown below.
Correction in my answer
Ubuntu 16 &
Visual studio Version: 1.30.1
To cut line
Shift + del
To delete line Shift + Ctrl + k
CTRL + L (Visual Studio 2019 Windows)
Its Cmd + Shift + K on mac by default.
But it can be modified according to user needs from the settings (Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts) -> search for Delete Line key value.
Valid Answer By 2022 for VS Code (with image)
All the above answers regarding Ctrl + Shift + L are now deprecated.
The correct default behavior is Ctrl + Shift + K
(⌘ + Shift + K if you're a MAC user).
To change this default behavior:
1- Go to File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts (OR click Ctr+K Ctrl+S)
2- Type in the search bar delete line
Here you will find the corresponding behavior. You can change it just by double-clicking on it and pressing any desired combination of keys on your keyboard (pay attention of conflicting shortcuts).
By default, if you are using the C# default profile, you can delete a line using Ctrl + Shift + L.
You can customize this using Tools->Customize. Select "Keyboard". Look for the command Edit.LineDelete to assign it to whichever keyboard shortcut you like.

If you got here looking for an answer for Visual Studio Code the default shortcut is:
ctrl + shift + K for Windows
⌘ + shift + K for MacOS
However, you can change on File > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts
{
"key": "ctrl+shift+delete",
"command": "editor.action.deleteLines",
"when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
}

none of the above answers worked for me. to delete a line in visual studio code use :shift+del
All the answers were helpful but didn't seem to work for me.
So I found the solution --> for Visual Studio 2017 (and certainly 2019):
Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard > on the right pane select Edit.LineEdit.
Below there is a ComboBox Use new shortcut in: with Global written --> Change it to Text Editor.
On the right there is a Text input Press shortcut keys:, so use the shortcut of your choice.
Then click on Assign PushButton on the right (otherwise it won't be applied).
Finally > OK.
You can now open a .CPP file and use your shortcut to remove a line.
On Visual Studio 2019 for Mac, it's CTRL + K to cut the whole line by default.
Here is a url for the keyboard short cut reference for windows:
https://code.visualstudio.com/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts-windows.pdf
For windows: Ctrl + Shift + k
The other answers are specific to Visual Studio, which is what was requested by OP, however if anyone is looking for a more generalized way to do this for most Windows programs, you can also Triple-Click to select any block of text, then just press the Delete key. This works for any Windows text editors or TextBoxes, including password boxes, search boxes, browser web address boxes, etc. For text editors such as Visual Studio, a block of text is typically one line of code. Obviously you can do other things too, such as triple-click to select a line of code, then Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V to cut/paste, etc, or just triple-click and type over it to replace a line.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to display tooltips provided by Visual Studio & Resharper when you hover over a bit of code? I'm already aware of Quick Documentation (Ctrl + Q) and Quick Watch (Ctrl + Alt + Q).
Do you mean Ctrl + K, Ctrl + I? This is the command Edit.Quickinfo.
(sorry, I am unable to add a comment with the PC I have now)
For the single variable, do you mean in debug mode ?
2nd Edit: I think VS names these tooltips 'datatips'. Unfortunately, there is no command to show them, so no possible shortcut.
You can do it by binding this command to a key:
EditorContextMenus.CodeWindow.PinToSource
Unfortunately it works with what you have selected, not with what you are hovering over. Not only do you have to do the extra click, but you need to select the entire variable name and all of its prefixes as well.
Old question but useful to know.
My shortcuts:
PinToSource set to alt-F1
ClearAllDataTips set to shift-alt-F1
CTRL+ALT+Q
It is equivalent to
SHIFT+F9
