Another setting many developers like to change is keyboard shortcuts.and today we will Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts in vs Keyboard shortcuts are a great way to save time because they enable you to perform a task with a simple keyboard command instead of reaching for the mouse and selecting the appropriate item from the menu. To change the keyboard shortcuts, choose Tools ➪ Options, expand Environment, and click Keyboard.
Alternatively, press Ctrl+Q, type keyboard, and hit enter. Locate the command for which you want to change the shortcut in the list of commands. Because this list contains many items, you can
filter the list by typing a few letters from the command. For example, typing print in the Show Commands Containing field gives you a list of all print-related commands. Next, in the Press Shortcut Keys field, type a new shortcut and click Assign. Visual Studio enables you to enter a double shortcut key for a single command. For example, you can bind the command Close All Documents to the command Ctrl+K, Ctrl+O. To perform this command, you need to press
both key combinations in rapid succession. Although a double shortcut key may seem like overkill, it greatly increases the number of available shortcut keys.
Resetting Your Changes
Don’t worry if you feel that you have messed up Visual Studio by trying out the numerous customization options. You have many ways to restore Visual Studio to its previous state.
Resetting the Window Layout
The command Reset Window Layout, accessible from the Window menu, resets all windows to the position they were in when you first started Visual Studio. This command is useful if you misplaced too many windows and ended up with a cluttered IDE.
Resetting the Toolbox
If you removed an item from the Toolbox by mistake or even deleted an entire tab, you can reset the Toolbox to its original state by right-clicking the Toolbox and choosing Reset Toolbox. You need to think twice before you use this command because it also deletes all your custom code snippets.
Resetting All Settings
If you followed along with the previous Try It Out exercises, and then started experimenting with the customization possibilities, your IDE is now probably in one of two states: It either looks exactly the way you want it, or it looks like a complete mess. In the latter case, it’s good to know that it is easy to clean up the chaos. To completely revert all Visual Studio settings to the way they were right after installation, choose Tools ➪ Settings ➪ Import and Export Settings or Tools ➪ Import and Export Settings, depending on the version of VS you’re using. Then choose the Reset All Settings option and click Next. If you want, you can create a backup of the existing settings; otherwise, choose No, Just Reset Settings.
You get another screen that enables you to choose among a number of settings collections. Choose Expert Settings or Web Development because these options give you access to all the features you need to follow along with this articles. Finally, click Finish. This action causes all settings to be reset to their defaults, including the window layout, Toolbox and Toolbox customizations, shortcut keys, and everything you may have changed in the Visual Studio Options dialog box. So, use this command only when you’re really sure you want a fresh, new setup of Visual Studio.
With some basic knowledge about ASP.NET pages and Visual Studio, it’s time for some real action. In the next chapter, you see how to create ASP.NET websites and web pages in much more detail. You learn how to organize your site in a logical and structured way, how to add the many different types of files to your site and how to use them, and how to connect the pages in your site. However, before you proceed to the next chapter, there is one more important topic you need to look at: the sample application that comes with the next section.
