Develop the necessary Windows tips

In Windows we often encounter a variety of small problems, and these small problems do affect the efficiency, if you can solve these small problems, then to a certain extent, improve work efficiency, to ensure that the mood is pleasant. Today I would like to share a few self-thought useful tips.

Ways to save TFS passwords

When you use VS2010 to connect to a TFS server in Win7 and Win8, a user name password is required to connect to TFS every time you start:

Two times is OK, but each time the input is more annoying, mainly has not saved the account password option, so that each time can only be a real input.

To avoid this process, you can save the password through the Credential Manager:

There is a Credential Manager option in Control Panel:

Open Credential Manager:

You can see that there are some account passwords saved here, you can add a new account password by using the button in the red box in the picture below:

When you click OK, the account password is saved, such as:

Win8 SVN operates a variety of slow

Our intranet Win8 x64 machine, the use of SVN in the LAN will be particularly slow, to view the log, update code, submit code, compare differences and other operations will be very slow, for a lot of client version can not solve the problem. But accidentally found a command to solve the problem, the command is as follows:

Set Global autotuninglevel=disable

After executing this command at the command line, the various speeds of SVN will become fast. In the Win7 machine recently found SVN slow situation, but the implementation of the above command effect is not very effective, have the same situation of friends, can say the solution.

Win8 modifying keyboard shortcuts for switching input methods

With Win7 time long, now began to use WIN8, all kinds of habits, others can slowly adapt, but switching input method is really too painful. The original switch input method is to use CTRL + Space, and Win8 switch Input method is the use of Win + space, because the key combination of Win + space is not too accustomed to, plus the layout of the win button and not too standard key techniques, resulting in Win + Space is difficult to switch the input method while happy to write code.

In order to write the code happily, it is better to change the win + space back to Ctrl + space. The method of setting is not found because it is not familiar to Win8. Only curve salvation, using AutoHotkey to complete the function of keyboard mapping, the script is as follows:

^space:: #Space

Where ^space represents Ctrl+space, #Space表示Win +space.

AutoHotkey is a more practical tool, interested to understand: http://www.autohotkey.com/

Win8.1 completely shut down UAC

Since UAC has been present, it has not been like UAC, and has never used UAC. Of course, I have not reached the level of the master can machine bare, just feel UAC too annoying.

Win7 inside the UAC is very simple, directly in the user account management, the UAC program to the minimum:

But this approach is not good in Win8.1, so after setting up, many things still need to use administrator permissions to execute. Due to the use of WIN8.1,UAC in the intranet, which seriously affects the work efficiency, and the intranet to ensure the security of the environment, the UAC must be turned off.

Win8.1 you want to completely turn off UAC, you need to modify the registry: hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\polocies\system\ EnableLUA, the default value of 1 is changed to 0, then the restart takes effect, and all operations are no longer prompted for administrator privileges.

When you modify the registry, you will be prompted with the following:

From then on the whole world is quiet.

It is important to note that when UAC is completely turned off with this method, the application is launched with the following hints:

Since my system is in the intranet and not on the Internet, these applications are useless to me, so I can ignore this problem. However, if the external network, according to their own circumstances, consider whether to turn off UAC.

Change the CapsLock to ESC or the ENTER key

Because the company's code specifications rarely use capital letters, and usually use the time is seldom used, so the habit, when the need to use capital letters, is basically the use of shift, the CapsLock key is almost no use.

Put such a button close to the finger no, feel too wasted, think of it can be used up.

First think of the ENTER key, sometimes the right hand to use the mouse, the left hand to do some keyboard operation, the final need to use a carriage return to complete the final input, because the right hand to use the mouse, left hand distance enter key too far, with any one hand simple to press a enter key is not too convenient, and CapsLock key distance is too close to the left hand, if the CapsLock key can have the function of the ENTER key, that is really great.

Then think of the ESC key, recently learned vim, feel very strong, began to use a variety of similar tools, gvim,chrome in the Vimium,vs in the Viemu, Vsvim, and so on, and the same characteristics of these VIM tools are often used ESC key, even to an extraordinary degree, And because the ESC is in the top left corner, the distance is a bit far away, then the CapsLock key can have the function of the ESC key, that is really great.

The idea is very plump, the reality is also very plump, with the above mentioned AutoHotkey, can easily complete this function, the following is the script that changes the CapsLock key to enter key:

; change CapsLock to enter key $capslock::enter; The following is Alt+& capslock::setcapslockstate,% getkeystate (  "CapsLock" "T""Off""  on "

The following is a script that modifies the CapsLock key to the ESC key:

; change CapsLock to Esc key $capslock::esc; The following is Alt+& capslock::setcapslockstate,% getkeystate ("  CapsLock"" "T""Off " "  on "

Summarize

Seemingly very simple things, in fact, also affect the efficiency of these small skills can be used well, in some scenarios, can improve a certain degree of efficiency.
