VB.NET 2022
When pressing Shift+F2 over a line of code that reference to a form(dialog), its open another dialog with two options:
1-anyname.designer 2-anyname.vb
Before the same command opens the form(dialog) directly on the 2nd option anyname.vb without extra steps.
Is there a way to make it work as before.

Are there any shortcuts to open the definition (e.g.: a method definition) in a split vertical group? By ctrl + click on the usage of method, it opens in a new tab. It bothers me, because I have to leave my own tab.
(I know that after opening in a new tab, by pressing ctrl + \ it will be open it in a new group, but this also has the same problem: I lose my own tab, and a second problem: when I want to close the definition file, I have to close it from both the 2nd group and the 1st group.)
Are there any shortcuts to open the definition file directly in a new group?
Ctrl+Alt+Click seems to open the definiton file in a split editor.
It'll open to whatever you have this setting:
Workbench > Editor: Open Side By Side Direction // options are right and down
Note that it'll directly open the definiton file in a split editor only if there is a single possible defintion file. For example, you may have both a source and a dist folder with the same files in them (after some task runner commands perhaps). If there is more than one option, vscode will instead open a peek window with the multiple references listed to the right side. You can Ctrl+Click on whichever of those you want to open to the side.
I'm big on not using the mouse, especially while writing code. I've noticed in IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1 that when I'm navigating in the project window, hitting Enter while a particular file is selected opens the file in an editor, but it doesn't place the cursor in the editor. Interestingly, if I double-click on the file in the project window, the cursor is placed in the editor.
How do I configure IntelliJ to place the cursor in the editor after opening the file via Enter from the project window?
To the best of my knowledge, I do not believe there is a way to configure what you are looking for. A search for focus in the settings didn't turn up anything.
That said, hitting Esc when in the project view will return you to the editor. So you would need to do Enter, Esc. If having to type two keys in a row bothers you, you could always record a macro (Edit > Macros) to do that key sequence and map it to a shortcut.
I created a super basic text editor which can read .txt files. I would like to know how I can set my basic text editor to the default .txt file extension so whenever the user clicks on a .txt file, at first it will show the "default program" window. If the user clicks on my program then the text files will be always opened using my program. How can this be done?
It depends on your version of windows, but in Windows 7/Vista you can click Start->Default programs

In Windows XP it's a little more difficult:
Go to the Start menu and select All Programs.
Select Set Program Access and Defaults.
To select an option, click on the radio button beside it.
If you need to expand the option, click on the double arrows for that option on the right side of the window.

If you want to do this programatically, you have to edit some registry settings. See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144154%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Apologies upfront if this is a silly question, but it's annoying me to no end and I can't figure it out.
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Professional, and I usually code in C# where when using the Intellisense, when I press Enter to select a method or something it adds my selection and I can continue typing on the same line.
But at the moment I'm working on a project which is in VB.NET, and when I use the Intellisense in the same way it puts my cursor in the next line, i.e. I press Enter to select whatever, it adds my selection and starts a new line, so I have to press the Backspace to go back to the previous line. It's so annoying!
Is there a way to change this behaviour so the cursor doesn't go to the next line? I've looked at the settings available in Tools > Options but can't figure it out, and searching Google for anything similar hasn't been successful.
Found it here (paragraph List Members)
You have toggled to suggestion mode instead of completion mode.
You can also change to suggestion mode, in which only the text you type is inserted into the code. For example, if you enter an identifier that is not in the list and press TAB, in completion mode the entry would replace the typed identifier. To toggle between completion mode and suggestion mode, press CTRL+ALT+SPACEBAR or click Edit/IntelliSense/Toggle Completion Mode.
So, either use TAB/SPACEBAR (as I said in the comment) or press CTRL+ALT+SPACEBAR to switch back to completion mode.
EDIT: I've found out that whenever you type Stri (String will show highlighted in the list now) and you press . (dot) it will autocomplete and stay at the same line.
I think your way of doing this in C# isn't possible in Visual Basic.
I had the same problem and discovered that Auto list members was not enabled on my machine. It's under Tools > Options > Text Editor > Basic > General. This gave me the intellisense I was looking for.
Simple thing which can be used when you face this kind of issue is to press
tab key instead of Enter key when the IntelliSense provided me prediction list.
I have a desktop application which reads files from a specified folder, then deposits the files to a folder in a third party document management system based on criteria that the user provides.
My question is:
is it possible to somehow provide different parameters to the code, depending on which shortcut of the application the user clicked on to start it up?
You can add command line parameters to a shortcut icon. Here's how you can do it in Windows:
On the Start Menu, navigate to Notepad.
Right click on Notepad and choose Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut)
Right click on the newly-created desktop icon and choose Properties
Add your command line parameters to the Target text box.
For example, if you want notepad to open up the hosts file, this would be the content of Target property:
%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"
You can put pretty much anything into the Target property of a shortcut that you would put into a command line.
Yes.
The easiest way would be to have the shortcut pass those parameters in via the command line.
You could also use conditional compilation variables, and have 2 different .exes. You should be able to find samples of both approaches (command line and conditional compilation variable) in help.
