move through string to next upper case character in visual studio 2008

when im working in xCode i can use the Command-LeftArrow and Command-RightArrow to move to the next word break or upper case character in the source code this is really handy when renaming variable names etc,

e.g. if i have "rightAudioFile" and my cursor is at the start of the word i can press Command-Shift-RightArrow and select/highlight just the "right" part of the string then i could rename/cut/copy/paste just that bit.

in visual studio i can use ctrl-Left and Right arrow to move between word boundaries, which is still very handy (you can do it in the stack overflow editor too) but i would like both sets of functionality.

any ideas how i can set this up in vs2008?

CodeRush can do this.

have you used it? is it detrimental to performance?

I own it. I've found it to be worth its price, and I haven't noticed any performance problems.

There's an "Express" version that's free, which you can find here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/dd218053.aspx I don't know whether it has this particular feature in the free version, though. There's also a trial version you can download from here which definitely has the feature: http://www.devexpress.com/Downloads/Visual_Studio_Add-in/

The refactoring is the thing I use most. I usually set it to Control-Shift-R so it's handy. You'll notice that it has a "Refactor" and a "Code" section; the Refactor section is intended to change the code without changing functionality, whereas the Code section changes functionality: add a constructor, add an inheritor or base class, change a property, etc. In the most recent version there's automated unit test running; you can run a single test, a class, or a namespace full of tests.
