I've been aware of Steve Yegge's advice to swap Ctrl and Caps Lock for a while now, although I don't use Emacs. I've just tried swapping them over as an experiment and I'm finding it difficult to adjust. There are several shortcuts that are second nature to me now and I hadn't realised quite how ingrained they are in how I use the keyboa...
Is there a keyboard shortcut for pasting the content of the clipboard into a command prompt window on Windows XP (instead of using the right mouse button)? The typical Shift+Insert does not seem to work here. ...
I'd like to open the intelligence window without typing a character and then backspacing it. I can't seem to remember the shortcut for this. What is it? thnx ...
What is the keyboard shortcut to expand the little red line that gives you the menu where you can choose to have the necessary Using statement added to the top of the file? My Googling skills have not proved fruitful. ...
This question might not seem programming related at first, but let me explain. I'm stuck with using a keyboard that doesn't have "home" "end" "page up" and "page down" buttons. I need those functions for programming. So the question is: what's a good/free utility to define system wide shortcuts and macros in vista? Mapping for example ...
In Visual Studio 2003 you could jump to the next bookmark with ctrl k, ctrl-n; it stayed within the same file and wrapped around to the top of the file when there were no furter bookmarks in the file. Now in VS 2008 this seems to have changed, and ctrl-k, ctrl-n jumps to other files with bookmarks. How can I change this back to the old b...
I'm a Mac user and I've decided to learn Emacs. I've read that to reduce hand strain and improve accuracy the CTRL and CAPS LOCK keys should be swapped. How do I do this in Leopard? Also, in Terminal I have to use the ESC key to invoke meta. Is there any way to get the alt/option key to invoke meta instead? update: While the control ke...
Although I played with it before, I'm finally starting to use Dvorak (Simplified) regularly. I've been in a steady relationship with Vim for several years now, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to remap the key bindings to suit my newfound Dvorak skills. How do you remap Vim's key bindings to best work with Dvorak? Explanations...
I know I can cycle through my tabs using cmd+{ or cmd+}, but is it possible to select a specific tab (i.e. cmd+3 for the third tab in iTerm) in Leopards' Terminal.app? ...
After working for a few days with Eclipse Java I totally got addicted to pressing Ctrl and clicking on an identifier to go to its definition. Since then I've been looking for a way to achieve this in Visual Studio as well. I realize VS has right click, Go to definition, and that F12 does the same. I also realize that Visual Assist does ...
For obvious productivity reasons, I make an effort of learning and using as many of the keyboard shortcuts for the various Re# commands. However, it seems that the unit test runner does not have any associated shortcut keys. I want to be able to select certain tests and be able to run or debug them without resorting to grabbing the mou...
The new awesome Ctrl +. keyboard shortcut to show smart tags has suddenly stopped working, a week or so after I discovered it :( I am missing it badly, having had to revert back to Ctrl+Alt+F10, which really just isn't the same. I recently installed F# CTP 1.9.6.2 Has anyone else installed this CTP and still has Ctrl + . Lost Ctrl ...
Is there a way in Visual Studio (a hotkey) to automatically import a type (or choosing between known namespaces) like the CTRL+O in Eclipse? ...
How can I get Emacs style key bindings in Visual Studio? Is it available in Settings? Do I need a Plug-in? ...
I want to create a component that allows us to have keyboard shortcut chords associated with an arbitrary command like the visual studio IDE does. ...
Difficult question. The answer is probably no, if all I found in the Intertubes is right, but it is worth a try. I need to override the CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and the CTRL+ESC combinations. It would be good to be able to override the WIN key combinations, but I have a low level hook that does such, I only wish I didn't need it. If I can manage t...
In bash shell with emacs key-binding, you can use key combination like M-f, M-b to move one word forward or backward on the shell prompt respectively. Usually, the meta key is mapped to Alt key on Windows and Linux. However, in iTerm, I could not find a way to map this meta key to either Option or Command key on my MacBook Pro. It seems...
When I alt-tab to my VM from my host the VM does not get keyboard input until I click inside it. This is causing me an issue as it looks like the VM has control of the input (as the cursor is flashing away). If while in this state, VMWare server has the focus rather then the application inside it, if you do ctrl-Z (normally for undo) i...
Does anybody have a keybinding scheme similar to VS 2005 available for Eclipse? How to import it into preferences of Eclipse (I see only export button). ...
I have an AIR app with an <mx:HTML> component, which renders a page that includes an HTML/Javascript-based WYSIWYG/rich-text editor. Various keyboard shortcuts are assigned for formatting and what have you, but if I type a shortcut which isn't assigned (eg. cmd [or ctrl on Win] + M), the character is entered as if no modifier key was pre...
