Meet the IntelliCommand (Visual Studio 2010/2012 extension)
How many hot keys do you know in Visual Studio? Do you know everything? I know a way to learn them all. I want to present you an extension for Visual Studio 2010/2012, which I wrote with my colleagues Drake Campbell and Aditya Mandaleeka . Let me just copy the extension description from the Visual Studio Gallery :
IntelliCommand is an extension for Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 that helps you find hot key combinations. This extension shows an assistant window with all possible key combinations when pressing Control, Shift or Alt, or a combination of them (by default, you need to hold the key for a couple of seconds). Also, this extension shows a list of possible combinations when you press the first combination of chord shortcut keys, for example, Ctrl + K, Ctrl + C (this combination will comment out the code in the editor).
