Display keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio context menus

Question

Most of the time I use Visual Studio 2008. When right-clicking in this product, a context menu appears.

I'd like to see the keyboard shortcuts bound to each menu item in the context menu.

Does anyone know how to display these?

Answer 1

I don't think you'll be able to get them in the context menus, but you can get them in the tooltips, as when you hover over an item in a toolbar.

Go to Tools>Customize and select the checkbox that says Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips.

If you go to Tools>Options>Keyboard there is a very handy search feature (Show commands containing:), so you can find a specific command (and then set or change the key binding, if desired).
