Using Visual Studio 2019 Professional. There is a nice keyboard shortcut for C/C++ and C# code which takes you to start/end brace. This can be found at Options > Environment > Keyboard > Edit.GotoBrace which is configured to Ctrl+] on my installation:
if (something)
{ // <= Press CTRL+] here...
SomeFunction();
AnotherFunction();
} // <= ...and get taken here (or vice versa). Nice!
Is there something similar for Visual Basic.NET? The Edit.GotoBrace shortcut does not work.
If (something) Then ' <= I'd like to press CTRL+] here...
SomeFunction()
AnotherFunction()
End If ' <= ...and be taken here (and vice versa)
Click one of the If, Then, Else or End If, and all of them will be highlighted. This also works with Try and Catch (and other related keywords).
Then use CtrlShiftUp and CtrlShiftDown to jump between highlighted references and keywords.
The shortcuts are Edit.PreviousHighlightedReference and Edit.NextHighlightedReference, which can be found in Options > Environment > Keyboard.
Note that keyword highlighting must be enabled in Options > Text Editor > Basic > Advanced > Highlighting > Highlight related keywords under cursor.

I use SAS Enterprise Guide and Teradata Studio Express to code for my day job. WindowsOS.
I use CTRL + / shortcut to comment lines of code out in both apps. Suddenly, this shortcut has stopped working. I've checked all my keyboard and Code Shortcut Key settings in both apps and nothing seems out of place!
All other shortcuts seem to work in both apps, common ones I use like CTRL+C (copy), CTRL+X (cut), CTRL+V (paste) etc
I've got no idea why the 'comment out' shortcut is unable to register. Anyone else encounter this same annoying issue?
CTRL + : will pack your line in /* and */
If you have selected a range, Enterprise Guide will do that with every line from which you selected any character.
CTRL + Shift + : will unpack them
You just have to define it again.
Go to Tools-->options-->Enhanced Editor Keys
Select the Command "Comment the selection...." and press Assign keys
within "Press new shortcut key:" enter the ctrl + : key and press assign
I often need to get quickly to the very beginning or very end of a file in the IntelliJ editor. Is there a shortcut key or button that allows me to do this quickly?
I am running on Windows, if that matters.
Beginning of File: Fn + ⌘ + ←
End of File: Fn + ⌘ + →
Note: This answer was posted prior to windows specificity. Leaving it here to include MacOS alternative.
On Windows, you can use Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End to go to the beginning and end of a file respectively.
The action is called Move caret to Page Top/Bottom, default shortcuts would depend on the OS/Keymap and can be checked here:
On Windows these are Ctrl+Page Up and Ctrl+Page Down.
To find what keyboard strokes are already defined for this, go to Preferences->Keymap and search for text start for jumping to the beginning of the file and text end for jumping to the end of the file. You'll get something that looks like this:
The right column tells you what keystrokes have been mapped to these functions. Feel free to change them to something that you find more intuitive by double clicking on the right column and following the instructions on the pop-ups.
Under preferences -> Keymap, a shortcut for Scroll to Bottomand Scroll to Top can be set.
By default, they are not assigned.
By default in windows the shortcut is
ctrl+end
You can customize the shortcut. To use only end button as shortcut go to Settings -> Keymap -> Editor action -> move caret to text end
Right click on move caret to text end and update shortcut to end
On a Mac, these following keys:
to start of the file:
option + command + [
to end of the file:
option + command + ]
After spending minutes to search on the web, i don't find the answer for just using cmd + up or down. If you are the same, as a quick workaround, you can cmd + a to select all text and press up or down to move it.
When I'm coding in VB.Net in VS2015 I would like to use CTRL+SPACE to select Intellisense proposal when coding. Currently I have to use SHIFT+SPACE and I see no way to change it.
In the preceeding example screenshot it is visible that I have 3 potential options to autocomplete. I can select any of them with key up/down but in order to select the proposal I have following options:
Press 'SHIFT+SPACE' - this will accept the proposal and position the
carret right after the word enabling me to press '(' or whatever else
I want
Press 'SPACE' - this will accept the proposal but it will also
add a white space at the end which is ok for properties/fields but
not good for methods
Press '(' - this will accept the proposal but it
will also add a '(' character at thend which is ok for functions/sub
but not good for properies/fields
Press 'CTRL+SPACE' - this actually does not do anything :(, CTRL on its own makes the Intellisense menu gray-out
In the key configuration window I found the Edit.CompleteWord command:
However this command already has CTRL+SPACE assigned it but it simply does not work. In addition SHIFT+SPACE is not mentioned as one of the keybindings.
Note:
VS2015 does have a flag 'Toggle Completion Mode' but I actually see no difference if this option is checked or not.
you can Use Tab and this will accept the proposal and position the current right after Tab Use space it well show You next Complete Word .
I would like to disable automatic insertion of end for def/while/class/etc. in Rubymine 7.0.
For example, if I type def and press enter, an end is automatically added below the new line:
# Before I press enter:
def|
# After I press enter:
def
|
end
I've looked through the options in File > Settings... and can see options for similar features (such as automatic insertion of closing ) characters, which I have unchecked) but nothing specifically for end.
An answer to a similar question suggests using the Rubymine "registry" (accessible via Help > Find Action... > "registry" as explained here) but this doesn't seem to have had any effect.
Uncheck the line End (on blank line) in File > Settings > Editor > General > Smart Keys.
I always run into this situation: cursor is on line 5 and I want to select everything down to line 16. I have to resort to shift-arrow, arrow, arrow, or use the mouse.
NetBeans has "go to line" (Control-G) but you can't hold down shift while doing that, so no good for selecting. There's also "bookmarks," but same problem.
Anyone know of a cool trick that solves this problem?
I'm open to alternate tool suggestions for OS X.
You can use Shift-PgDn or Shift-PgUp to select the next "page" of information.
The only thing that comes to mind is to create an editor macro.
Eg:
Tools > Options > Editor > Macros
Click "New" Enter a name:
Enter a name for the macro: select-5-down
For the macro code enter:
selection-down
selection-down
selection-down
selection-down
selection-down
Click "Set Shortcut" and assign a key binding. I used Alt-M.
Now each click of Alt-M extends the selection by 5 more lines.
