Comment on 30 Favorite Visual Studio Keyboard Shortcuts

Comments

It's note to note that these seem to be implemented "ergonomically" rather than just by character.

On US keyboards, the opening bracket [ is easily available, while on e.g. Swedish keymaps you also need to press the Alt Gr key to get [ (it's at Alt Gr + 8).

Still, in Visual Studio the same physical key that is [ on US keyboards works as listed in this article, i.e. Control + å matches brackets. Nice!

I just use the US layout, and when I press Right-Alt it switches to my native language's layout (which I can use efficiently because I can touch-type).

Just embrace English as the lingua franca of programming and you'll be better off.

Heh. I've certainly embraced that, for a good number of years. But that doesn't mean I need to use an English keymap, although I did fight that battle for a great while back on the Amiga, 15+ years ago. :)
