In this article i am going to explain about How to increase your productivity by using the keyboard shortcuts for Visual Studio.
In my previous article i have explained about How To get data from WEB API , How To Create Your First WEB API Project, Check Container Exists In Azure Blob , Convert Datatable To Json Data Array , How To Show Tooltip On Mouse Hover In Gridview , Script To Drop Multiple Tables,Procedures At Once , and many articles in C#.Net,ASP.Net,VB.Net,Grid View,Javascript,jQuery,SQL Server and many other topics.
To become a productive developer you should use mouse as few as possible. It is possible only if you know the equivalant keyboard shortcuts. Because mouse clicking is one type of distraction that will kill the time of the developers.
But don't try to memorize all the shortcuts. Instead whenever you need to use mouse then just do some research to find any keyboard shortcut is available for that. Here is the list of some visual studio shortcuts I am using a lot often as a .NET developer.
In the list some shortcuts are specific to some version of visual studio. So not all the shortcuts will work for your installed version.
I will add the list in future if i found some new shortcuts.
