Microsoft Visual Studio Hotkey Shortcuts 2009 Top (N)

Hey Now,

Keyboarding is very important to efficiency & hotkeys / shortcut keys are can be used many times each day to increase productivity. The way I’ve displayed my hotkeys are in a shorter list that are rated so it’s a top ten style where #1 is most used & #10 is tenth most used.

     When in Visual Studio the common tasks I try to accomplish are running / debugging code, finding files in the solution explorer, using controls & their properties, using breakpoints, comments & formatting code. This list accomplishes these tasks & can be used in VS05, VS08 & VS10.

This hotkey list is compact and ordered to display hotkeys that we can use daily. Of course there are large lists of every hotkey in studio out which is just not what I wanted to concentrate on right now. From one productive efficient keyboarding fan another.

As always all comments welcome!

Bye for now,
