Another one in the "I might be the last one to figure this out" department. But it's cool, so I want to share it.
I'm a keyboard guy. That's why I love discovering new shortcuts. Today, when working in VS2005, I accidentally hit ctrl-alt-down arrow. So I was surprised when up popped a scrollable list of my open windows. You can even type the first few letters of the filename to navigate the list. I like it better than ctrl-tab when I know the name of the window I want to open, because it doesn't make me visually scan a big unordered list. When I know I want the last window, or the one before that, ctrl-tab still wins.
This is cool. Thanks, you definitely weren't the last one to find this. But to share my latest complaint, if you do this in SQL Server Mgmt Studio, you get totally illegible filenames if you're connected to the server, as the UI shortens the names "[Readonly]XXXXXXXXDB.DBName = File_name.sql" to "[Readonly]XXDb.Dbn...e_name.sql". Argh!!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks. Have you filed a bug?
ReplyDeleteWow, sweet -- thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteNope, doesn't work for me. Which keyboard settings did you choose and where can I change them?
ReplyDeleteI chose the Visual C# 2005 bindings, but the command is Window.ShowEzMDIFileList, so you can bind it to whatever you like. Go to Tools->Customize->Keyboard.
