Visual Studio for Mac continues to follow the Microsoft Modern Lifecycle Policy, and Visual Studio 2017 for Mac version 7.8 will be superseded by Visual Studio 2019 for Mac version 8.0 once released. Multi-caret editing, or faster git branch switching. 2 months ago Paul Chapman - MSFT.

(Using Visual Studio 2010 Express) Microsoft visual studio for mac.

When you do CTRL+Tab on the editor of Visual Studio, it navigates to the next document window (the name of the shortcut is Window.NextDocumentWindowNav). Should you let CTRL key downed, it shows the navigation window where you can see all tool windows and editor tabs opened.
Without taking in account the navigation window, this shortcut enables to navigate between two tabs: the current one and the last one that had focus.

I think it's not a very optimized behavior because if you want to set focus on a third tab, you have to let CTRL key down to get the navigation window, then search for your tab, then click on it (or rotate between all tabs with the Tab key).

I would rather have a shortcut that rotates between opened tabs like any application (browsers like Firefox, IE, .., Excel, ..) but I couldn't find any shortcut to do that in the Tools window corresponding to the desired behavior.

Do you know if it is possible to set a such keyboard shortcut?

It seems that this shortcut is only available through plugins - that means that the Express version is not able to get this function for now.

In Visual Studio 2010, the menu Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard: Show Commands Containing: type NextDocumentWindow, lets you find and select the Window.NextDocumentWindow in the list. It shows that the shortcut is Ctrl+F6. This shortcut lets you cycle through currently open documents. Ctrl+Shift+F6 navigates in reverse order.

Edit: I tried also Ctrl+Alt+PgDown and Ctrl+Alt+PgUp shortcuts do about the same thing.

Hope that helps.

From VS 2010: How do I get “next tab”, “prev tab” keyboard shortcut working? :

You should map the Window.NextDocumentWellTab and not View.NextTab and remove it from any other functions it's assigned to. Only mapping it will not work, you also need to unmap from anything else its being used on, apparently.

This is what my keyboard configuration looks like:

Looked into this some more, and it turns you need to install the Productivity Tools. That gives you that NextDocumentWellTab function.

I use the Shift + F7 often to switch between source and design view.

Does anyone know of a hotkey to switch between the source file and its code behind file, e.g. between (Default.aspx and Default.aspx.cs)?

In the VS2010 the following works:

1. Go to: Tools>Options>Keyboard

2. Search for 'View.ToggleDesigner' in 'Show Commands Containing'.

3. Add new shortcut to 'Global' with F7.

Eduardo CuomoEduardo Cuomo

Yep just F7

Look at this poster for C# VS2008 shortcuts

You can also bind it to any combination of keys you like, go to tools, options (show all settings) environment, keybord, Show Commands for View.ViewCode and change to your liking.

Visual studio for mac taking forever to save. I don’t have any numbers for you on battery, but a VM will definitely shorten the life of a charge. Also for the disk, if you have to go external, I think you’ll need it to be thunderbolt and SSD or the IO will slow you down too much. A shot in the dark, but maybe half?

There don't seem to be posters beyond 2010 but there is a website for VS2012, VS2013 and VS14: Visual Studio Shortcuts

For those trying to do this (switch from the code view to markup view) in VS2012, I had to go Tools > Options > Keyboard, then select

• Keyboard Mapping Scheme as '(default)'
• View.ToggleDesigner as the command
• Use new shortcut in 'Text Editor'
• Set the shortcut key to F7

This results in F7 switching both ways from the markup view to the code view and vice versa.

Before doing this I had to use Shift+F7 twice to get to markup from the code view.

In case F7 does not work for you, go to 'Tools - Import and Export settings - Reset all settings' and choose 'Web development' template to reset to.

AlexAlex

In VS 2013 it is

1. Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard

2. Type 'View.Toggle' or 'View.ToggleDesigner' (the command could be either depending on the version of VS) in Show Commands Containing:

3. Make Sure Use new shortcut in: is set to Global

4. Put cursor in Press shortcut keys: box

5. Hit F7 then the Assign button

When in code view use shift-F7 to get to the designer. When in the designer use F7 to get back to code.

Cristian LibardoCristian Libardo

Try Ctrl + PageUp to toggle between design view and code behind.
