I'm moving from Eclipse to Visual Studio .NET and have found all my beloved hotkeys except two: in Eclipse you can press ALT-(leftarrow) and ALT-(rightarrow) to visit recent changes you have made, something I use frequently to go back to where I was in some other file and then return.

Ok, this is my own fault, but I can't seem to rescue myself.

Sometimes, while I am debugging a c# application, I will hit a break point and when I try to continue, step or step into, it just does nothing. The yellow line highlighting the current line goes away, but it never reaches the next line. The app is still frozen like I am on a breakpoint and I can do nothing but hit the stop debugging bu...
