Visual Studio 2013 shortcut keys Daquan, VS2013 common shortcut keys

Visual Studio 2013 is a basic, complete set of development tools that includes most of the tools needed throughout the software lifecycle, such as UML tools, code control tools, integrated development environment (IDE), and more. VS 2013 has added a lot of new features to improve developer productivity, such as automatic completion of square brackets, the use of shortcut keys to move the entire line or the whole block of code, etc.;

Reasonable use of shortcut keys can improve development efficiency. But there are a plethora of shortcuts available in Visual Studio, so we have no need to know how to use all the shortcuts, and the answers vary from person to person. As far as I'm concerned, I've only used a few of them in my development process, but the work is doing just as well. So this article does not list all the shortcut keys, just a few of their favorite shortcuts to do a summary, I hope you can consult when needed.

VS2013 Common shortcut keys:

1. Go back to the previous cursor position/advance to the next cursor position

1) Go back to the previous cursor position: Use the combo key "Ctrl +-";

2) advance to the next cursor position: "Ctrl + Shift +-".

2. Copy/cut/delete entire line of code

1) If you want to copy a whole line of code, just move the cursor to that line, and then use the combo key "CTRL + C" to complete the copy operation without selecting the entire row.

2) If you want to cut a whole line of code, simply move the cursor to that line, and then use the combo key "Ctrl+x" to complete the cut without selecting the entire row.

3) If you want to delete a whole line of code, simply move the cursor to that line, and then use the combo key "Ctrl+l" to complete the cut without selecting the entire row.

3. Revocation/anti-revocation

1) Revoke: Use the combination key "Ctrl + Z" to cancel the operation;

2) Anti-revocation: Use the combo key "Ctrl+y" for anti-undo operation.

4. Forward/Backward Search

1) Use the combination key "Ctrl+i";

2) Type the text you want to search (move the cursor to the search Word input box to start typing);

3) After you type the search text, you can use the combination key "Ctrl+i" and "ctrl+shift+i" to locate the search results before and after the search results are highlighted.

4) to end the search, you can press the "ESC" key or click the Close button on the right side of the Find box.

[Supplemental] After selecting a word, pressing the combo key "Ctrl+f" also brings up the lookup box, and the search results are highlighted.

5. Box-Type selection

Use the combo key "shift+alt+ arrow keys (or mouse)" To complete the box selection. Box selection allows you to select both lines of code and columns. This is very handy for deleting some code in bulk.

6. Insert a row above or below the line where the cursor is located

1) key combination "Ctrl+enter": Insert a blank line above the current line;

2) key combination "Ctrl+shift+enter": Inserts a blank line below the current line.

2) End key: Navigates to the end of the line at the current line.

8. Select the code between the start of the cursor and the beginning of the line (tail)

1) Select the code from the cursor to the beginning of the line: Use the combo key "Cshift + Home";

2) Select the code from the cursor to the end of the line: Use the key combination "Shift + END".

9. Quick Insert Code block

10. Invoke Smart Hints

1) Method 1: Use the combination key "Ctrl+j";

2) Method 2: Use the composite key "alt+→".

11. Calling parameter information hints

For some functions with large functions, it is difficult to easily confirm the use of parameters within the function. At this point you can put the cursor on the parameter name, and then press the key combination "ctrl+shif+ space", where the parameters are used will be highlighted.

12. Quick Switch Window

Use the combo Key "Ctrl+tab" (You can now open the IDE's navigation to get a bird's eye view).
