C# Short Cut keys please.

[iKiLL]

Hi

I am new to C#, i have come from a VB6 backgrouond.

What i am looking for is a list of the Short cut keys for C# and what they
do.

I am in perticulare looking for the keys to jump to a Decleration and then
back to where you came from in the code, like in VB6. (SHIFT+F9 and
CTRL+SHIFT+F9)

Any help with this would be much appriciated.

Kind Regards,
IanK

That all depends on what your environment is, doesn't it. For example, I'm
learning C# with MonoDevelop, on a Linux system. Maybe you are writing C#
code in Windows Notepad.

Hi Ian,

There are no shortcuts in C#, nor in VB6, but there are a bunch in Visual
Studio. Go to Tools->Options and select Environment-Keyboard.

Go to Definition is F12 (or right-click and select go to definition in the
context menu).
I'm not sure what will get you back

Please, say what developer are you using.
Visual Studio, Mono, Eclipse?

F12 = Shift F9
Ctrl - = Ctrl+Shift+F9

Those are for Visual Studio.

F12 = Shift F9
Ctrl - = Ctrl+Shift+F9

For completeness, those were NOT the shortcuts in VB6 for the operations you
describe. You must change F9 to F2 for them to be correct. Ctrl+Shift+F9
deleted all breakpoints, and I'm not sure what Shift+F9 did off the top of
my head, but it may have been Set Next Statement, although that could have
been Ctrl+F9....

Well, yea.

He's doing C# development, and he didn't specify what environment he's in.
This makes is pretty same to assume he's talking about Visual Studio.

F12 = Shift F9
Ctrl - = Ctrl+Shift+F9

I'm not quite sure what Ctrl Minus is doing, but it's not taking me to
where I was when I pressed F12. That's the unbelievably obvious
Shift+Ctrl+8.

Thanks Chris
That is exactly what i was after.

And Christopher thanks for your help with the link.
i had already found that page before i posted, i read all the sections but i
still couldn't figer out which keys they were.

My appolojies to everyone else for confusing them so much.
I had no idea Microsoft did so many development environments for C#. This is
a Microsoft news group isn't it?
Next time i will try to be a bit more specifice.

Thanks for you time?

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint), Visual Studio
has several SETS of keyboard shortcuts. It all depends on the choice you
made when you first started VS.

You are definitely right!!!
The shortcuts are F12 & Shift+Ctrl+8
The Ctrl+- does take you back, but not directly to the method you came from.
I mean, when you use F12 and then navigate de code, the Ctrl+- takes you back
step by step, if you pressed PageDown two times then you will navigate PageUp
two time before returning to the method you came from. Did I make my self
clear?

Yes, right, but ... How to know?
I mean, I know I'm in a Tester Profile, that was my choice, but when I'm
going to ask do I have to say that I'm looking for shortcuts in VS.NET 2005
Team Suite, Tester Profile?
Every time I look for help under the Tester Profile match... well, nothing
matches!
I was wondering about the Class View. I looked and found Ctrl+V,W and it
didn't work for my profile. Later I found it under Ctrl+Shift+C for Testers,
while Developers have Ctrl+V,W.
Does that mean it is madness to ask about shortcuts for VS. It should be
some reasonable rule about it. For example, the Class View wasn't available
in my profile, I has to add it to the View Menu. So I can understand that
keystrokes are different as well. But navigations keystrokes should be the
same anywhere!
am I wrong?
Or else it should be a whole forum about shortcuts under several profiles.
