How do I close SQL Server output subwindow which appears when I run a T-SQL script from inside Visual Studio 2010? - visual-studio

How do I close SQL Server output subwindow which appears when I run a T-SQL script from inside Visual Studio 2010? It neither has nay kind of control buttons like [x] or[-=] visible, nor any other obvious means of closing.

On occasion the default keyboard shortcut Ctrl+R disappears. Resetting the default keyboard mapping scheme, using the [Reset] button in Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard should cure this.

You can change the keybinding to be whatever you like.
Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard
Find Data.SqlEditorToggleResultsPane, which is defaulted to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R. I changed mine to mimic SSMS (Ctrl+R), but you can change it to anything you like.
You can also add a custom shortcut button to a toolbar, if keybindings aren't your thing.

The only way we found to do it was Ctrl + Alt + Shift + R.

'Window', 'Hide Results Pane' (Ctrl-R)

Set Add Class shortcut key in Visual Studio

I used to used the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + C to add a new class in Visual Studio 2015. This seems to have gone away when I'm using a different machine. How do I set this?
I've looked in Options > Environment > Keyboard but I can't see anything obvious...
Navigate to Tools >> Options >> Environment >> Keyboard, search for commands containing Project.AddClass and setup the shortcut you want
Steps to setup a shortcut
Search any command like AddClass in Show commands containing box
Select a desired command
Click on the blank Press shortcut keys box
Press desired key / key combination for shortcut using your keyboard
Also, see article Visual Studio Shortcuts and Add on Tools...
This article explains the same in more detail with some other interesting (and perhaps even relevant) points.

Navigate To (CTRL + comma) in Visual Studio does not work

The "Navigate To" function (CTRL + comma) does not work on my solution. It gets stuck on "Found 0 matching results" while the little progress bar stays there but is empty.
I searched for some kind of IntelliSense cache file next to the .sln, but all I found was a .suo file which I deleted but it did not help.
Why is it not working?
I had the same problem. I went to Tools > Options... > Environment > Keyboard and clicked Reset. Yes, it will reset any customizations you had, but I figured that was the problem for me (I had an add-in take over Ctrl-, and even when I disabled the add-in it wasn't working). Resetting the keyboard shortcut customizations did the trick.
The command is not "Navigate-To" but actually Edit-GotoAll and it has the keyboard shortcuts of Ctrl-T and the more known one of Ctrl-, (comma).
Reference Default keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio
💡 Solution 💡
Here are the steps to resolve
Verify it is working by trying the opposite keyboard shortcut. If both shortcuts do not work type in "Edit Goto All" in the command search/execute box of Visual Studio.
Does the command work? If it does not work then do a reset via Visual Studio Options:
Then verify or add the keyboard command to the command in the mapping after the reset.
Type in "Edit.Goto" in the Window commands containing
Then selected Edit.Goto.All:
If you do not see the mapping (#3)
Add the keystroke in the box where bubble 4 is above and click Assign.
Set OK as shown on bubble step 5.
This is for Chinese user only. This is because of the Sogou Pinyin (搜狗输入法)occupy this shortcut system wide. And it won't release if you just uninstall it.
Go to here to disable it: Language->Advanced settings->Change language bar hot keys
Uninstall it is not working, you need disable that setting then uninstall it.
The Navigate To Feature does not use an on disk cache so that shouldn't be the issue.
The only thing I can think of that would cause this behavior is a bad Visual Studio install. I hate making this suggestion but have you tried repairing the install?
Tools > Options... > Environment > Keyboard and clicked Reset.That will work.If you installed the latest version/framework or re-sharper of visual studio then it may happens...
I just got the same problem and solve it by following the instruction I found here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/2bbab30e-3188-406b-b492-eabf8c2fbc0b/
For Chinese users, if you are using Sogou Pinyin, you can turn off Ctrl + Comma thru this.
Use spyxx_amd64.exe in this answer should work for most cases. https://stackoverflow.com/a/43645062/1179950
However, this didn't work for me... For my case, which is caused by language keyboard hotkey setting in Windows. By Sougou Pinyin though I have uninstalled it..
You can unset this in Control Panal (Windows 10):
Region&Language -> Advanced keyboard settings -> Language bar options ->Advanced Key settings panel
Unset all hotkeys you wont use!
For traditional Chinese users, you muse use the old version of new Cangjie.
Ctrl+Comma

How can I disable ReSharper in Visual Studio and enable it again?

I installed ReSharper, and it works in Visual Studio, but how can I disable it?
Whenever I search in the ReSharper menu, I can't find a disable option.
You can disable ReSharper 5 and newer versions by using the Suspend Now button in menu Tools → Options → ReSharper.
If you want to do it without clicking too much, open the Command Window (Ctrl + W, A) and type:
ReSharper_Suspend or ReSharper_Resume depending on what you want.
Or you can even set a keyboard shortcut for this purpose. In Visual Studio, go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard.
There you can assign a keyboard shortcut to ReSharper_Suspend and ReSharper_Resume.
The Command Window can also be opened with Ctrl + Alt + A, just in case you're in the editor.
Bind ReSharper_ToggleSuspended to a shortcut key.
Steps:
Tools>Options
Click Keyboard on the left hand side
Type "suspend" in the "Show commands containing:" input box
Pick the "ReSharper_ToggleSuspended"
Press shortcut keys: and
Press the "Assign" button.
Binding ReSharper_ToggleSuspended to a shortcut key (in my case: Ctrl-Shift-Q) works very well. With ReSharper not supporting the async CTP yet (as of mid-2011), when dipping into the code the uses the async keyword, this shortcut is invaluable.
I always forget how to do this and this is the top result on Google. IMO, none of the answers here are satisfactory.
So the next time I search this and to help others, here's how to do it and what the button looks like to toggle it:
Make sure Resharper is currently enabled or the commands may fail.
Open package manager console via the Quick Launch bar near the caption buttons to launch a PowerShell instance.
Enter the code below into the Package Manager Console Powershell instance:
If you want to add it to the standard toolbar:
$cmdBar = $dte.CommandBars.Item("Standard")
$cmd = $dte.Commands.Item("ReSharper_ToggleSuspended")
$ctrl = $cmd.AddControl($cmdBar, $cmdBar.Controls.Count+1)
$ctrl.Caption = "R#"
If you want to add it to a new custom toolbar:
$toolbarType = [EnvDTE.vsCommandBarType]::vsCommandBarTypeToolbar
$cmdBar = $dte.Commands.AddCommandBar("Resharper", $toolbarType)
$cmd = $dte.Commands.Item("ReSharper_ToggleSuspended")
$ctrl = $cmd.AddControl($cmdBar, $cmdBar.Controls.Count+1)
$ctrl.Caption = "R#"
If you mess up and need to start over, remove it with:
$ctrl.Delete($cmdBar)
$dte.Commands.RemoveCommandBar($cmdBar)
In addition to adding the button, you may wish to add the keyboard shortcut
ctrl+shift+Num -, ctrl+shift+Num - that is: ctrl+shift+-+-
EDIT:
Looks like StingyJack found the original post I found long ago. It never shows up when I do a google search for this

If resharper is completely missing from the options menu, it could be because the extension itself has been disabled.
In Visual Studio 2017 ReSharper 2018.X.X can be enabled and disabled by going to Help > Manage Visual Studio Performance. Then select JetBrains ReSharper ... under Extensions.
In Visual Studio 2019, you would go under Extensions->Manage Extensions->Installed
You can add a menu item to toggle ReSharper if you don't want to use the command window or a shortcut key. Sadly the ReSharper_ToggleSuspended command can't be directly added to a menu (there's an open issue on that), but it's easy enough to work around:
Create a macro like this:
Sub ToggleResharper()
DTE.ExecuteCommand("ReSharper_ToggleSuspended")
End Sub
Then add a menu item to run that macro:
Tools | Customize...
Choose the Commands tab
Choose the menu you want to put the item on
Click Add Command...
In the list on the left, choose "Macros"
In the resulting list on the right, choose the macro
Click OK
Highlight your new command in the list and click Modify Selection... to set the menu item text etc.
You need to goto Tools-->Options--->Select Resharper--->Click on suspend now,to disable it
Now Resharper supports Suspend & Resume argument at devenv.exe
(ReSharper 2019.2.3)
Run VS & Suspend R#:
devenv.exe /ReSharper.Suspend
Run VS & Resume R#:
devenv.exe /ReSharper.Resume
Here's an example usage:
In case the solution did not help to just suspend resharper (STRG+R, STRG+R did still not work for example) I decided to disable the plugin and restart visual studio.
VisualStudio > Extras > Extensions > Resharper > Disable
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/how-to-diagnose-extension-performance
In ReSharper 8:
Tools -> Options -> ReSharper -> Suspend Now
For ReSharper 2017.2.2, go to ReSharper | Options | Product and features.
Tools -> Options -> ReSharper (Tick "Show All setting" if ReSharper option not available ). Then you can do Suspend or Resume. Hope it helps (I tested only in VS2005)
Very simple steps:
Go to Extensions → Manage Extensions
Click on Installed section at the top left and search for "resharper"
You will see disable button over the extension, click to it then restart Visual Studio and that's it!

Is there a shortcut key to switch between split panes in visual studio/management studio?

When I have a file open in visual studio/sql server management studio and have it split in to two panes, I'd like to be able to switch between the panes without having to reach for the mouse. Does anyone know if a shortcut key exists for this?
F6 is your friend.
I think you can assign this by going to Tools -> Options -> Keyboard and searching for SplitPane. You should be able to assign shortcut keys for the following values:
Window.NextSplitPane
Window.PreviousSplitPane
CTRL+F6 will cycle through your files and across panes.
In SSMS: right-click toolbars, customize. Under categories, select Window, then under Commands select "Next Split Pane". Drag to toolbar. Right-click and change name to "Next Split P&ane". You can now use alt-a to change split pane.
On Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2012, I figured out that it is the combination of Ctrl+Shift+UpArrow(or DownArrow). :-)
This was not easy for me for some reason. This method finally worked (similar to Steve Dignan's answer above but I don't have enough rep to comment yet).
In VS 2012, Tools, Options, Environment, Keyboard.
"Apply the following additional keyboard scheme" set to "Visual C# 2005".
"Use new shortcut in" set to 'Global'.
Enter "splitpane" in "Show commands containing" to get only the 2 desired commands.
Select the first one and remove any shortcuts already assigned.
Click inside the "Press shortcut keys" box and use "Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow" for prev and down arrow for next.
If either of those shortcut chords are currently used by something else, you may need to search on that command and remove it from there. Then come back to the split pane commands and Assign.
Don't forget to close VS before you open another instance of it.
For Visual Studio 2010 (maybe others as well) F6 will work to jump between split panes if Tools -> Options -> Keyboard does not use the Visual C# 2005 keyboard layout additionally (which was the case for me for I-don't-know-why reasons - maybe I said yes to an installer/first-start question a long time ago).
Of course you will no longer be able to build your project with F6 afterwards. ;-)
For Visual Studio 2012: Tools -> Options -> Keyboard -> search by Window.Split and add a new shortcut.

F6 for compiling?

I have become accustomed to using F6 to compile the current document. A third-party install appears to have turned this function off. (F6 no longer does anything.)
Can anyone tell me how to get it back?
I'm using VS2008
Tools > Options > Keybord
This dialog lets you bind keyboard shortcuts to your heart's content. BTW this is how you bind keyboard shortcuts to custom IDE macros as well.
Thanks. The dialog: Tools > Options > Keybord
Allowed me to set the keyboard back to Visual C# 2005. So far, this seems to be what I wanted.
VMware's integrated debugging tool did this to me too. You can change this back to whatever you want, but every time you restart Visual Studio your keyboard shortcuts will be changed again.
The only way I could fix this was to remove the VMware debugging tools.
Its become a habit for me to use Ctrl + Shift + B to build my solutions. I know this doesnt answer your question, but I thought I would point it out.
Another keyboard shortcut is use constantly is Alt + Shift + F10. It opens the drop menu from the little red square under a change (the autocorrect type thing, I'm not sure what its called, also works for autocorrect in all the MS apps)
