Visual Studio Keyboard Bindings
Ever wondered about all the commands and keyboard bindings in Visual Studio? Ever wondered how many different ways exist to run a given command?
I wondered how many keyboard mappings there are in Visual Studio and luckily, Peter Provost has a little VS Add-in up on GitHub that dumps all keys to the Output window.
I upgraded it to support Visual Studio 2012 in this branch. I will submit the patch for that up to Peter?s project, but haven?t yet.
Below is the key mapping that dumped from my VS. I have 2012 Update 1 + Resharper installed and active.

That. Is. Freaking. Awesome.

I want an addin that monitors all of the commands I take inside VS (don’t even know if that’s possible). And when I’ve executed that command more than once with the U.I, it shows a little bubble that starts to nag me about shortcuts for operations. Or if there isn’t a short-cut it gives a little UI where I can supply one.
Ready. Set. Build it… 🙂
Wow! Very cool tool.
