What's the keyboard shortcut for Visual Studio to display the IntelliSense box if one accidentally hits ESC and wants the box come back again?
Additionally, Ctrl + K, Ctrl + I shows you Quick info (handy inside parameters)
Ctrl+Shift+Space shows you parameter information.
Ctrl + Space
or
Ctrl + J
You can also go to menu Tools → Options → Environment → Keyboard and check what is assigned to these shortcuts. The command name should be Edit.CompleteWord.
The most efficient one is Ctrl + ..
It helps to automate insertions of using directives. It works if the focus is on a new identifier, e.g. class name.
Ctrl+Space should do it.
It should be Ctrl + J.
If you have arrived at this question because IntelliSense has stopped working properly and you are hoping to force it to show you what you need, then most likely none of these solutions are going to work.
Closing and restarting Visual Studio should fix the problem.
If you want to change whether it highlights the best fitting possibility, use:
Ctrl + Alt + Space
Alt + Right Arrow and Alt + Numpad 6 (if Num Lock is disabled) are also possibilities.
In Visual Studio 2015 this shortcut opens a preview of the definition which even works through typedefs and #defines.
Ctrl + , (comma)
On Visual Studio Community 7.5.3 on Mac this works for me:
Ctrl + Space
The shortcut to bring up the IntelliSense box is called Edit.ListMembers. It defaults to:
Ctrl + J
The shortcut to automatically select the most likely option is Edit.CompleteWord. It defaults to:
Ctrl + Space

Previous in I have used ctr+d for duplicating the code many times, but when I switched to desktop and installed vs code and all the necessary extensions for my react project. And now this CTRL+D keyboard shortcut is not working. Can any help me to solve this issue
I recently met this issue too. I found a solution, see this: https://linuxpip.org/duplicate-lines-vscode/.
The main step are:
File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.
type "copy line",then you will see the related shortcuts.
remember the new shortcut(e.g. Shift + Alt + Down) or modify the shortcut to ctrl + D.
shift + alt + arrow-down works for me.
For me it was a VS Code extension causing the ctrl + ... binds not to work. It was "Vim emulation". Try isolating the issue by uninstalling the extensions until you find which one.
Similar issue for Windows 10, resolved using CTRL + F2.
I was working and I pressed some keyboard shortcut (not sure what) and now VS shows me dots for space characters. I don't like it. Does anybody know what this setting is called so that I can turn it off?
Thanks.
Your shortcut was:
Ctrl + R; Ctrl + W (it is a toggle, can be used to switch on/off)
personally, i like this view, as it was set by default in IntelliJ if i remember correctly..
it helps finding unwanted spaces or inconsistent indenting
I don't know if there is a better way to ask this. But, I mean to open the small down arrow which shows the list of tabs (see following) using a keyboard shortcut
The Command that you are looking for is Window.ShowEzMDIFileList, it can be accessed(at least on my machine) by Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow
Does anybody know if there is a shortcut or something similar for changing the font size in the text editor in Visual Studio 2008?
What I mean is something like Ctrl + mouse wheel like in Firefox.
Accessing the Options window and then selecting Environment > Fonts and Colors is fine if you don't have to change the font size all the time, but in my case, I would like to be able to change it depending on what I am doing (writing and reading code or just reading it).
I guess I could create two almost identical settings files and import them whenever I want, but that is even slower.
You'll probably find these shortcuts useful:
Ctrl+Shift+. to zoom in.
Ctrl+Shift+, to zoom out.
Those characters are period and comma, respectively.
Ctrl + MouseWheel on active editor.
In the Macros explorer under samples/accessibility there is an IncreaseTextEditorFontSize and a DecreaseTextEditorFontSize. Bind those to some keyboard shortcuts.
Ctrl + MouseWheel works on almost anything...not just visual studio
I am using Visual Studio 2017 , I found below can change font size
Use :
Tools in Menu -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors
In visual studio 2019 you can use,
Either:
Ctrl + Shift + . To increase
Ctrl + Shift + , To decrease
Or
Go to
Tools > Options... > Environment > Fonts and Colors
Be sure to check out the VS 2010 Beta that was just released. The new editor should have this.
Ctrl + Alt + MouseWheel will work in Visual Studio 2015.
You can chnage font size by ctrl + mousewheel.
OR
tools --> options --> environment --> font and color.
Detail with screenshot is mentonied here
This worked for me:
Ctrl + - to minimize
Ctrl + + to maximize
In visual studio code if your front is too small or too big, then you just need to zoom out or zoom in. To do that you just have to do:
For zoom in : ctrl + = (ctrl and equal both)
For zoom out: ctrl + - (ctrl and - both)
What is the shortcut to open a file within your solution in Visual Studio 2008 (+ Resharper)?
Ctrl + T (ReSharper, Goto, type) will open a class file for you.
Looks like Ctrl + Shift + T opens files.
Depending on your keymap, Ctrl + Shift + N will open any file in the solution, or Ctrl + N will open any type.
If the standard toolbar is visible the following will open any file in the solution (resharper is not necessary).
Ctrl + D places you in the Find textbox. >of f will provide a dropdown with all files that start with f with path information after the filename to distinguish name collisions. Complete the filename, or arrow down to the correct one and hit enter to open it in the editor.
I attended a presentation recently where Kirk Jackson showed how to add aliases to the command window in Visual Studio. Bear with me, it gets better.
So it went like this:
Open Command Window and type
alias fo File.FileOpen
Now in your editor window hit Ctrl + / to put the focus into the Find box on the toolbar
If you use the prefix > this is command window (sneaky huh?) so type:
fo
and intellisense kicks in and shows you the names of the folders and files in the solution.
The alias is persistent between Visual Studio sessions.
Not exactly a keyboard shortcut but using this technique you can access any command in Visual Studio from the keyboard.

It depends on the key mapping that you have set.
With default keymapping: Do Ctrl + T to open a type and Ctrl + Shift + T to open a file.
With IntelliJ like mapping : Do Ctrl + N to open a type and Ctrl + Shift + N to open a file.
