F5 key stop working?

[Chris]

My shortcut key F5 has stopped working in Visual Studio, in all
projects. Anyone know what I could have done to make this happen or
more important, how to get it back?

Does the "Debug" -> "Start" menu item display F5 as shortcut?

Maybe resetting the toolbars ("Tools" -> "Customize...") or selecting
another keyboard schema on the start page's "My Profile" tab solves the
problem.

I tried both your idea's and it hasn't helped any. I do have the F5
shown as a shortcut. It just started happening recently. Any other ideas?

All my function keys are not working in the IDE. They work in the
program ok. and my CTRL-O works in the IDE.

very frustrating.

If you have installed any add-ins and IDE extensions, you can try to disable
them and check if they are causing the problem you described.

If you have an F-Lock Key on your keyboard, try toggling it to get F5 to work.

It turns out the problem was a low level keyboard hook class I was
implementing and not disposing of correctly. I appreciate all of your help.
