I recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2010 and found out that when i press Ctrl-Backspace on a empty line it will delete the line, which is what it did in 2008, but then it will also delete the last character on the line above. I have tried to see if there is any settings anywhere but i cant seem to find any. Does anyone know if you can change this or did they make it default in 2010
Im using C#, if that makes a difference.
Control-Backspace deletes the word to the left of the cursor. If you are on a blank line and hit it twice it will delete that line and the word above it.
Do you have the caret in virtual space (e.g. after hitting enter from a previous line, and the caret is aligned at the correct indent level)?
If so, this is a bug in the RTM. I've already fixed it in our internal builds, though that's probably not very helpful for you. I went ahead and wrote a small extension that "fixes" the issue, which you can download here. If you are curious, you can also take a look at the workaround in FixCtrlBackspace.cs. It's essentially just overriding the behavior of ctrl-backspace, when the caret is in virtual space, to clear the virtual space.
Let me know if that helps, or if it breaks anything (I didn't test it very heavily).
