Welcome Back! I hope you enjoy the content on this site. If you have not done so already, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and if you have a minute I would love to have your Feedback. Thanks for visiting!

Sometimes ago I compiled this list for myself and our team to help get things done faster and deal with visual studio quirks.

Remember if you mess things up you can always reset your Visual Studio Settings (Tools->Import and Export Settings->Reset All Settings)

Visual Studio Optimization Tips:

1. Disable F1. (Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard) (I always end up hitting it by mistake when reaching for the escape key)
2. Disable "Animate environment tools" (Tools->Options->Environment->General)
3. Disable Start Page (Tools->Options->Environment->Startup)
4. Disable "Track Active Item in Solution Explorer" (Projects and Solutions).
5. Disable Navigation Bar (Tools->Options->Text Editor->C#)
6. Set "AutoToolboxPopulate" to false (Tools->Options->Windows Forms Designer).
7. Turn off Track Changes. (Tools->Options->Text Editor->Track changes)
8. Bind Ctrl+Shift+k to Edit.LineDelete
9. Bind Shift+Enter to Edit.LineOpenBelow
10. Bind CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+Z to Attach To Process
11. (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D) to reformat the code when things get messy

If you have some tips on your own please share in the comments!

Hope this helps!
