does Visual Studio 2010 not have a "join lines" keyboard shortcut?
EDIT - That is when on line X anywhere, I hit a shortcut key once, and then line X+1 joins to line X (eliminating CR between them so to speak)

What do you mean? Deleting at lines' beginning/end will join two lines. What are you thinking of doing?

@Greg- It appears your three identical comments need to be merged not joined. :-)

As I far as I know it does not.
However, you can create and save a new VS macro using the following code:
Sub JoinLines()
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.EndOfLine()
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.Delete")
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.EndOfLine()
End Sub
and assign a keyboard shortcut to it (like CTRL + j)
This code will join the current line with the one right below it.

I think he wants to join with the line below it, meaning that you can probably eliminate the first 2 lines of the macro.

Assuming he's asking because he's a vim user, you'd actually want: EndOfLine, delete, insert a space (I think), move left one character.

this looks good - just stuck trying to figure out in VS2010 how to do the keyboard assignment to the JoinLines Sub method...

@Greg- `Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard`. In text field for `Show commands containing:`, simply type `JoinLines` and your new macro should display. Then in `Press shortcut keys`, type `Ctrl + j`, click `Assign`, and finally `OK`. It should work after that.

A:
If you want the join feature to act like Vim (pressing Shift-J) then use this macro that joins, inserts space and places cursor after the space:
Sub JoinLines()
Dim textSelection As TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection
With textSelection
.EndOfLine()
.Insert(" ")
.Delete(1)
End With
End Sub
Just assign it to something like ALT-J (as CTRL-J and CTRL-SHIFT-J are taken)
