Experiment!

I think I want to try to use visual studio, ONLY using my keyboard.

I bought a keyboard, it's thin, it's light and I hate taking my hands away from it. If I was using VIM, this would not even be an issue. VIM was built for this shit.

Visual Studio is not. I know what you're saying. You can do anything in VS with the keyboard. But I don't feel as though Visual Studio was BUILT for it. You know?

So what I'm going to do is do my entire quick project using ONLY my keyboard. There is a challenge though, this is the thin mac keyboard and it's missing the context menu. So I can't do any right-clicking of any sort immediately. So I'll have to find a shortcut for that. I've decided to make a blog about it. Anyways, here goes.

Part 1

Common needed shortcuts:
Solution Explorer: CTRL+W, S (makes sense)
Team Explorer: CTRL+\, E (makes less sense ... wouldn't CTRL+W, T be ideal?)
Right-click (SHIFT+F10)
Build: (SHIFT+ F6)
Build Solution: (F6)

Part 2:

(after you build with errors, the error window pops-up, you can either let it take you to the first error by using the directional keys OR:)
View Code: F7


There we go. Those are quite common.
