I have a macro that I wrote to just help me with my unit testing (it was derived from other macros that just add underscores to the name of the method as you write it,), and when I go to Tool > Options > Environment > and then keyboard to assign a shortcut to it, it not anywhere to be found, none of the "MyMacros" default section is there. Any ideas?
Also, the macro explorer option isn't under Tools menu, I need to hit ALT+F8 to get to it, maybe they are related?
Thanks.
You're likely running into an issue where your current profile settings hid the macro explorer. Try going to Tools -> Import/Export Settings and choose reset all settings. Choose the "General Profile." If it is a settings issue, this will cause the menu to re-appear.

For some reason in my VS2013 environment shift+E is assigned to some keyboard command, where additional input is required (see image).
This is extremely frustrating when typing something like:
IEvent event = ...
Reset procedure through tools->options-> as described here
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zainnab/archive/2010/08/05/keyboard-shortcuts-reset-all-your-shortcuts-vstiptool0064.aspx
doesn't seem to work.
Does anybody know how to find and reset this shortcut?
You can also reset Visual Studio settings through Tools | Import and Export Settings.... Select "Import selected environment settings" and click Next. Choose whether or not to save your current settings or not and click Next. Select whichever of the default settings you wish to reset your keyboard shortcuts to and click Next. Then uncheck every setting except for Options > Environment > Keyboard and click Finish.
I want my code to break on exceptions and so usually in VS2010 I go to the dialog Debug->Exceptions... to enable this.
But on a new install of VS2010 Professional that option in the Debug menu is completely missing. Has anyone seen this before?
From here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d14azbfh.aspx#addexceptionscommand
Do this:
To add the Exceptions command to the Debug menu
On the Tools menu, click Customize.
The Customize dialog box appears.
Click the Commands tab and, in the Menu bar list, click Debug.
Click Add Command.
In Categories in the Add Command dialog box, click Debug.
In Commands, click Exceptions and then click OK.
(Optional) You can click Move Down to adjust the position of the Exceptions command on the Debug menu.
Click Close.
Visual studio can be used with various languages and environments. Therefore, the basic IDE have different settings for each purpose (this is somewhat like Eclipse perspectives). Using a certain language profile does not mean VS cannot be used to develop another language, but some of the IDE's functionality might not be available. To solve this issue, the IDE's profile can be modified as described here.
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.

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+-+-

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 way to enable file editing while debugging in Visual Studio?
I have unchecked the "Require the source file to exactly match the original version" checkbox.
It makes no difference. I have to stop debugging to edit files. Very annoying.
I enabled Edit and Continue. Same result.
I disabled Edit and Continue - Same result.
As far as I know you can uncheck the "Edit and Continue" checkbox.
Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Edit and Continue > Enable Edit and Continue (uncheck)
Expanding on Reed's correct answer.
When in debug mode editing a file is using a feature known as Edit and Continue (commonly abbreviated ENC). This allows users to change their program as it is running in the debugger.
When ENC is enabled, users are allowed to perform a limited set of edits on their file. The next action which continues execution of the program (F10, F5, etc ...) will cause the edits to be applied to the running program. If this succeeds the execution of the program will continue with the new code applied.
The debugger does not allow edits to the file if ENC is not enabled.
There are a few reasons ENC may be disabled on your computer
Certain profiles do not enable ENC by default and it must be explicitly enabled
You may be running on a 64 bit OS and have your .Net app set to "Any CPU". ENC is not available on 64 bit (CLR limitation). You'll have to set the app back to x86 for ENC to work
UNcheck "Enable Edit and Continue" (Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Edit and Continue > Enable Edit and Continue)
Build your app.
Run it.
Stop it.
REcheck "Enable Edit and Continue".
Build your app.
Run it.
Try editing the files while debugging now.
This worked for me. I believe it might be some bug or syncing issue with Visual Studio 2015.
You need to enable Edit and Continue.
From MSDN
To enable/disable Edit and Continue
Open debugging options page (Tools / Options / Debugging). Scroll
down to Edit and Continue category. To enable, select the Enable Edit
and Continue check box. To disable, clear the check box. Note. ...
Click OK.
usually editing a file during debugging is possible when you have hit a breakpoint (and only then).
There are some restrictions though:
-your new code must compile
-you cant change code in a function that contains lambda expressions
For me this link Disabling IntelliTrace worked.
Go to
Tools > Options > IntelliTrace > (uncheck) Enable IntelliTrace
Or Debug > Options > IntelliTrace > (uncheck) Enable
IntelliTrace
If you have Edit and Continue turned on and you are using C# you can only edit a file if the debugger has stopped either via a break point or you manually breaking into the App via "Break All". You still won't be able to edit some files, Ex. xaml files in a WPF app, but it should solve most problems.
Removing tick at below option work for me
Tools > Option > Debugging > General > Enable Edit and Continue
*Note: At some fellow developers system, Adding this tick performed the trick.
If your source origins from a decompiled dll, note that decompilers may add an IgnoreSymbolStoreSequencePoints instruction to assemblyinfo.cs:
[assembly: Debuggable(DebuggableAttribute.DebuggingModes.IgnoreSymbolStoreSequencePoints)]
This line must be removed in order to load the pdb-file, making edit & continue work.
I have tried this way and its Working for me.
Go TO CSProj Or VbProj File -> Choose Asp.Net Development Server/ IIS Express ->Debuggers->Enable Edit and Continue->Save and Run.
Click Tools -> Option: and then make sure the following is selectted:
