Hi. I have just started using TFS and have some questions about hotkeys. It is really uncomfortable to select projects, solutions and files in Solution Explorer.
I want to assign hotkeys to just 2 operations:
But I cant find these in the list of available operations in Visual Studio Keyboard Settings. Can someone help me with the names of operations if they are available?
Not feasible, unless you only run very little of TFS 2010.
TFS 2010 when properly used requires a lot more than just checking in - including attaching your checkin to the work items that it is realted to. A hotkey would make this impossible. In TFS you do not check in THAT often, only to complete items of work (or if they are very long sometimes on the site). I do about 4-5 checking per day and they CAN take time (integration, validation, documentation), so a hotkey would bring me nothing.
Actually, there are a whole bunch of commands available under Tools|Options|Environment|Keyboard, to which you can assign shortcuts. Some of them are:
I can't tell you exactly what is what and what is best for you to use. I guess there's some documentation about this out there - at least I hope so ;-)...
HTH!

If you can't live with selecting the solution node in the solution explorer and use a hotkey for File.TfsCheckIn, I guess that your only options is to use a macro like this and assign a hotkey for that:
Sub CheckInSolution()
DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer).Activate()
Dim fi As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(DTE.Solution.FullName)
Dim name As String = fi.Name.Substring(0, fi.Name.Length - fi.Extension.Length)
DTE.ActiveWindow.Object.GetItem(name).Select(vsUISelectionType.vsUISelectionTypeSelect)
DTE.ExecuteCommand("ClassViewContextMenus.ClassViewProject.TfsContextCheckIn")
End Sub
