I 've had a list of Visual Studio 2008 keyboard shortcuts pinned to my wall for quite some time - http://nerdfortress.s3.amazonaws.com/visual-studio-2008-keyboard-shortcuts.html.
Does anyone know of a similar thing for Visual Studio 2010?
Scott Guthrie just posted about this. You can download a list of shortcuts directly from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=92ced922-d505-457a-8c9c-84036160639f
Here are a few links you could try:

The devcurry.com site shows the nicer PDF version from Microsoft.

Visual Studio Keyboard Short Cuts This covers version(s) 2012-2017
i've created binding for Visual Studio's Edit.BriefBookmarkDropx commands:
Edit.BriefBookmarkDrop1: Ctrl+Shift+1
Edit.BriefBookmarkDrop2: Ctrl+Shift+2
Edit.BriefBookmarkDrop3: Ctrl+Shift+3
...
Edit.BriefBookmarkDrop9: Ctrl+Shift+9
Using Tools -> Options -> Keyboard:
Except that when i hit Ctrl+Shift+2, nothing happens:
i know Microsoft likes to obfuscate Visual Studio features. What's the secret trick that i'm missing?
Note: i am installed DPack into Visual Studio Professional - an addon that provides brief bookmarks (and a number of other essential features). Do not confuse this for an answer to my question:
you cannot install addons into Visual Studio Express
you cannot install addons into the Visual Studio Shell
my question isn't about addons

It took four years, but i figured it out. Everything i was doing was correct. The only issue is that Visual Studio is stupid. Here's how to configure Visual Studio to drop a Brief bookmark:
How's that different from what i showed in the question?
Fails Use new shortcut in: Global
Works Use new shortcut in: Text Editor
By default any keys you bind in the Global space do nothing.
Which begs the question why the option is there, and the default? But usability is not something Visual Studio team prides itself on.
hello I have Visual Studio 2008 Express edition, I found some add-ins like metalscroll and rockscroll and even installed, but I can't find how to use those add-ins, I thought it might be automatically, I mean highlighting, but it doesn't work for my version, any ideas why? thanks in advance
Quote from metalscroll's home page:
The add-in works with Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 (Express versions
not supported, since they don't allow add-ins). VS 2010 will not be
supported, but Microsoft has released an add-in pack called
Productivity Power Tools which provides the same functionality.
You can forget about installing add-ins in Express editions of Visual Studio. They simply are not supported. Money spending time :-)
How can I create a Visual Studio 2010 add-in with a user-interface? I want my add-in to have a window that can be pinned, just like the "Output", "Task list", "Error list" and all the other extensive windows in Visual Studio.
Where can I find documentation on add-ins with such user-interfaces to get me started? I can only find documentation on the actual coding.
Although there is some Microsoft documentation for writing add-ins, I recommend you start at Carlos Quintero's Resources about Visual Studio .NET extensibility. There are many how-to articles and links to a variety of documentation.
I figured out that what I needed was Visual Studio 2010 packages.
Fear not, these packages can be made in managed languages too (C# and Visual Basic). However, they require the Visual Studio 2010 SDK, which I didn't have installed.
It's very easy to make, and is done without hassle! Furthermore, it's cool, since the UI of the addins allow WPF!
In Visual Studio 2010 you can drag tabs out to separate windows but you can not collect them together as additional tabbed elements. Is there a VS 2010 add-on to allow you to group your extra windows into tabs? It would be really nice to have a set of tabs on each of my monitors.
The best place to look is the Visual Studio Gallery for 2010 Extensions. If you are lucky someone else has already had the idea and created an extension (VSIX) for you.
Otherwise, why do you have a go at writing it yourself by grabbing a copy of the Visual Studio 2010 SDK and read the Getting Started Guide.
UPDATE: I just stumbled on this awesome Visual Studio Extension that may do want you are looking for: Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools.

Productivity Power Tools does it, and it's free. The feature is called Document Well.
