In Visual Studio 2010 you can assign keyboard shortcuts for moving lines up and down.
I can't find these commands in 2012.
Have they been renamed or removed? Is there any way, out-of-the-box, to move lines using ALT + ↑↓? (I'm not buying ReSharper.)
This command is a part of Productivity Power Tools.
The 2012 version was released in November 2012. You can find it here:
Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2012
Nothing happened to it, these commands don't exist in VS2010 either. Check what add-ins you've got installed.
Not sure what it does, but consider Edit.ScrollLineUp/Down. Default binding is Ctrl+Up/Down arrow.

I cannot see the Paste Special option in my Visual Studio 2017 Professional Edition:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2017
Version 15.4.5
VisualStudio.15.Release/15.4.5+27004.2010
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.7.02046
In this blog post it is shown for Visual Studio 2013. On my machine, the edit menu appears as below:
Is there a way to get back the option? Do I need to enable this option somehow?
I have missed an important step. There is nothing wrong in Visual Studio 2017. I was not in a .cs file.
Another possible answer to this problem is the WCF component is not installed in Visual Studio.
The Paste Special option will not show if you are debugging.
I stopped my application and the Paste Special option appeared right away.
This was in Visual Studio 2017, but I assume it would be the same for all versions.
I have Visual studio 2012 Professional already installed on my machine. I installed Visual studio Ultimate. I am not seeing Intellitrace windows or in IntelliTrace options in Tools-->Options in VS 2013.
I know, IntelliTrace is not available with Professional version. Am I missing anything?
What you are doing here should be supported. There are a couple of things that you can do to trouble shoot the issue.
1) Double check that you are actually launching Visual Studio 2013. I know that this sounds silly, but different versions of Windows will set up file or project associations differently. So, though you have installed 2013, it is possible that your regular workflow is actually still launching 2012. Check the splash screen and/or the Help > About dialog.
2) Reset Visual Studio. It is possible that something got corrupted in your extensions cache during your installation that is preventing Visual Studio from recognizing IntelliTrace. This should be relatively simple:
Launch the "Developer Command Prompt For Visual Studio 2013"
cd to [Program files x86]\Microsoft Visual Studio 2013
Execute the command "devenv /updateconfiguration" followed by "devenv /setup"
The last step may take a number of minutes depending on your system configuration. After it is finished, relaunch Visual Studio to see if IntelliTrace is available.
Previously (VS2010) I solved the insane Ctrl+Tab behavior using Productivity Power Tools and re-mapping Ctrl+Tab to Window.NextDocumentWellTab.
I have since installed the trial version of Visual Studio 2013 Professional and the latest Feb 2014 version of Productivity Power Tools. Unfortunately the Window.NextDocumentWellTab does not exist. Is this a known problem, will it work when I upgrade to the paid version of VS?
This question explains why the default Ctrl+Tab behavior in Visual Studio makes me want to tear my eyeballs out and smash my head on the wall:
Changing Ctrl + Tab behavior for moving between documents in Visual Studio
I installed Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2012 and I guess one feature is either missing or turned off. I mean the tooltip that appears when howering on the classname and method name.
Here are the screens of what I mean. This is from VS 2010.
How can I turn on the same feature in the Visual Studio 2012 or is it just removed from this version of IDE?
The Solution Navigator has been incorporated into Visual Studio 2012 and is no longer part of the Productivity Power Tools extension. There also doesn't seem to be any way to enable interactive tooltips.
For some reason, on a new computer, Visual Studio won't auto-close curled brackets.
if(Username.Text.Equals()) {
And it doesn't auto-close. Works perfectly on all other machines I've installed VS2010 on. And now it just won't.
And there doesn't seem to be a setting in the options menu to alter this behavior. What do I need to do?
I'm not sure if this is actually built in to vs2010. But you can install the MS Productivity Power Tools (Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2012) Which will give you brace auto completion. this is quite a common add in so maybe the other copies of VS you have tried have it installed??
Visual Studio will auto-format matching pairs of brackets as you type, but I have never seen this on Visual Studio 'out of the box'.
According to this Microsoft Connect entry, it's officially not on VS2010, having been cut due to time priority issues vs time constraints.
However, add ons like the free Microsoft Productivity Power Tools, or the not-so-free JetBrains ReSharper will add this functionality for you. Perhaps you had one of these (or other similar) add-ons installed in the other computers you have previously worked on.
