For all you C# fans out there, I came across this excellent keyboard cheat sheet today. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. One of Visual Studio’s best-kept secrets is its excellent keyboarding support (like one of my favorites, CTRL+ENTER). To get a full list of keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio 2008, I updated Jeff’s macro. If you want to do the same, just add a reference to System.Data.dll and System.XML.dll, as well as a imports for EnvDTE90, System.Data, and System.XML. The result? A nice-looking, comprehensive cheat sheet. Excellent!

Bonus! For all you VIM ninjas, get even more keyboard love with ViEmu and my favorite VIM cheatsheet.
Bonus #2! Check out these other well-done programming cheat sheets.
Bonus #3! Use these little-known features of Visual Studio to be more productive.
This is the great thing since sliced bread!

I haven’t checked all the shortcuts but the comment selection and uncomment selection are wrong.
What you have : ctrl + e , ctrl + c
what it should be : ctrl + k , ctrl + c
It probably depends on the “profile” you setup, such as C++ developer vs. C# developer.
This is brilliant. Thanks a lot for this. – Arunabh Das
Hi Kurt,
Do you still have a copy of this? I lost mine in the blog crash. If you have a copy can you mail it to me?

Hi Jeff,
Sorry to hear about the data loss. After a quick check it doesn’t look like I still have a copy of the macro, but there’s one more place I might have it stashed; if I find something, I’ll certainly let you know.
Found the macro. I just stumbled upon this blog and the macro. Would be nice to get it working.
The previous entry is missing the questionmark.
Found the maro?
