How to configure VS Code to move the last cursor position?
To to be more precise, here is the example of the feature for Atom editor.
https://atom.io/packages/multi-cursor
Please navigate to "Moving the last cursor that has been created" section. Those are the controls that I'm referring to.
Is there any such functionality in VS Code? Or any extension which can enable this?
ALT + Click , now i don't remember on MAC

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.
One of the few things I haven't figured out how to do in XCode that I could do in Visual Studio is list the parameters of a function. I've Googled this a few times now, and still haven't found an answer.
If I start typing out, for example round( I get a list of the parameters and its return type. However, if I already typed out the code
x = round(y);
and I cursor over to it, I don't know how to show parameter info without retyping it. Anyone know how the hotkey for this?
Just discovered Option + Escape by browsing through the XCode Preferences Hotkeys section. It actually lists the parameter info in a tooltip (no other hotkey I've seen so far does this!), but isn't quite as friendly as Visual Studio's Ctrl+Shift+Space function. For instance, the text selection cursor (caret) must be on the function name (not on a parameter to that function).
Having explored the XCode hotkeys exhaustively, I'm going to assume that this is the best it gets in XCode.
Control + Command + Shift + / is the keyboard equivalent of Option + click mentioned in other answers
Command + click the function will navigate you to the function definition, while Option + click brings up tooltip of function definition.
Like I said in the title of this question, is it possible to attach a keyboard shortcut to collapse all items in the solution explorer with Visual Studio 2012?
In previous version; 2010, I was able to create a macro to enable this feature but in Visual Studio 2012, there is no more support for macros.
I'm able to right click onto item in the solution explorer and choose 'Collapse All' but I prefer to just typed 'Ctrl+Shift+C' to do the same job.
FWIW, this is the best I've been able to come up with so far.
Alternative 1
Press Ctrl+¨ to put focus in the search box above the Solution Explorer.
Press Shift+Tab to move focus to the toolbar.
Use the left arrow to move focus to the left, until you hit the Collapse All button (four times. YMMV).
Alternative 2
Press Ctrl+Alt+l (or whatever your personal shortcut is) to focus the Solution Explorer.
Press Shift+Alt to focus the Solution Explorer toolbar. This puts the focus on the Home button on the toolbar.
Use the right arrow to move focus to the right, until you hit the Collapse All button (three times).
Press Enter.
Alternative 3
Press Ctrl+Alt+l (or whatever your personal shortcut is) to focus the Solution Explorer.
Press and hold the left arrow until you've reached the top node (the Solution node).
Press the up arrow to put focus in the search box above the Solution Explorer.
Press Shift+Tab to move focus to the toolbar.
Use the left arrow to move focus to the left, until you hit the Collapse All button (two times. YMMV).
As you can see in the screenshot below, there is an option called Collapse All and a shortcut key next to it.
Now this shortcut key will not work for you !
Unless ofcourse, you set it up using Tools > Options > Keyboard. The command name is CollapseInSolutionExplorerAction. Search using this command name and assign a shortcut key of your choice.
That's it and you are ready to use your shortcut key !

Visual Studio 2012 / ReSharper 8.0.1:
The command is 'ProjectAndSolutionContextMenus.Project.ReSharper_CollapseInSolutionExplorer'.
I suggest you to try CodeMaid extension for Visual Studio. It provides a command "Collapse All Projects Recursively" that has customizable shortcut (by default, it is Ctrl+M,-). It has some other nice abilities, like switching between .cpp and its .h files, joining lines, etc.
I have searched on the net a way to do this when I have first install VS2012 ..
I have just found the solution, so I share it :)
you can do this by adding your visual studio version to an existing Extension ...
Download the extension for VS 10
Change the extension from vsix to zip
extract it and open the file extension.vsixmanifest
Find this xml section : SupportedProducts
Add this :
<VisualStudio Version="11.0">
<Edition>Ultimate</Edition>
<Edition>Premium</Edition>
<Edition>Pro</Edition>
</VisualStudio>
you can also try version 12 for visual studio 2013 ...
zip it, and change the extension from zip to vsix.
Now you can Install it.
after install it, Goto Tools -> Customise and click on the keyboard button.
Search "CrossProjectMultiProject.CollapseProjects" and assing the shortcut you like.
Have a nice codding.
Please +1 if this help you
ps. sorry for my bad English, im French ;-)
In VS2010 I had a shortcut set up Alt+Up/Down to move lines of code up or down, just like I used to have in Eclipse in my Java days.
Now since Power Tools and macros (which is how I set up this shortcut in VS2010) are not available in VS2012, how do I get this to work?
I've seen somebody mentioned that Resharper can do this, but for the love of fire and water, I can't find the command names in the list of commands that can do that.
I have tried ReSharper_MoveUp/MoveDown and that does not move lines up/down:
This moves blocks of text up and down. I just want line-by-line up or down, no fancy logic there.
Before
After ALT+Up (when cursor is on WriteLine line) I would like to see this:
I have seen these threads: What's the equivalent for eclipse's ALT+UP/DOWN (move line) in Visual Studio?, Visual Studio: hotkeys to move line up/down and move through recent changes, but none of the suggested solutions work in VS2012.
Any other ideas?
UPD 7 Nov 2012: . Extensions are catching up with Visual Studio 2012. Now I know at least 3 extensions that provide this functionality:
MoveLine Extension. Link provided by Carl G
Move Line Extension with modifications to 2010 version. By gius
Productivity Power Tools 2012. Have not actually tried this, but this blog post states it does the line move up/down
UPD 15 Nov 2012: Just stumbled across another extension that claims it does what is required here. Have not tried it though: LineMan Extension
UPD 10 May 2015 Just installed VS2015 RC and this is built-in already:
For those who arrived on this question using Visual Studio 2013 or above, the feature is built right into the program. Just use AltUp and AltDown to move the line with your cursor—or the selected lines—up and down.
If you wish to rebind it in Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard, the keys are Edit.MoveSelectedLinesUp and Edit.MoveSelectedLinesDown. You may need to remove your new combination from other existing keys first.
Update: huzzah, Productivity PowerTools VS2012 is now available and offers this functionality (along with another personal favorite, Tools.AddEndTokenAtTheEnd.)
MoveLine Extension (compatible with VS 2012; I had to manually restart my VS in order to see the commands in VS's keyboard shortcut tool.)
Install ReSharper.
Open Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard (as shown in a picture)
Find "ReSharper.ReSharper_MoveUp"
In "Use new shortcut in:" choose: "Text Editor"
Click in "Press shortcut keys:" and press your shortcut (for example Alt+ArrowUp)
Press "Assign" button
Same with with "ReSharper.ReSharper_MoveDown"
P.S. Works fine for single lines and multiple selected lines, but removes selection after moved 1 line. Hope there are way to move multiple lines multiple times in one selection.
If you have Resharper, then you can hit Ctrl + Shift + Alt + ↑ to move the current line up. or Ctrl + Shift + Alt + ↓ to move one line down.
This works in VS 2012 Premium with Visual Studio keyboard scheme in Resharper 7 (7.0.97.60 to
be precise).
Edit: This is mapped to 'ReSharper.ReSharper_MoveUp'/'MoveDown' commands.
In Visual Studio 2017(atleast) I have below
You can use Move Line Command extension.
Just follow formula349's comment:
I was able to get this working with 2012 as-is.
Rename the package to .zip and unzip all files into a folder. Edit the extension.vsixmanifest file and look for the SupportedProducts XML node. Change the Version="10.0" to Version="11.0".
Re-zip the folder contents and rename back to .vsix. Works great!
While a lot of people seem to be recommending misc. Visual Studio Extensions and Resharper, I would like to point out there is a native hotkey that accomplishes this goal. I came to this question trying to find the answer, as my Resharper replaced my default hotkeys with their MoveUp and MoveDown versions.
And while Resharper's hotkeys do move things up and down, they are not what the original poster are looking for, and they are not what I wanted. These hotkeys move methods and blocks of code, not individual lines.
Visual studio has two hotkey commands to move your selected lines upwards or downwards.
These hotkeys are:
Edit.MoveSelectedLinesDown
Edit.MoveSelectedLinesUp
I am using Visual Studio 2013 however, so I am unaware if these exist in an older version. If 2012 does not have these hotkeys then perhaps an extension is the only solution.
Either way, I had an issue locating the exact hotkey within visual studio's list and it took me a good while to find these, so I hope that my solution manages to help someone else in a similar situation to my own.
Shift+Del and then Ctrl+V
Shift+Del does the cut (same as Ctrl+X) operation on the current line on which cursor is positioned.
Then you can use Ctrl+V to paste it at any place you like.
Good thing is that you don't need to select the complete current line, just the cursor needs to be positioned on the line.
One downside to using this shortcut is that you won't be able to see the line moving ( up or down ) lively in front of your eyes.
ReSharper's move up and move down shortcuts are smart - instead of just moving the current line (which can easily result in broken code), it will move the current statement up and down in the list of statements that make up the method body. This is much more powerful than just moving a single line of code.
But this doesn't help you get your statement inside the if block. Here you need to do one of two things.
Firstly, move the statement above the if block, then use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Right to push it down in scope. The statement will now be inside the if block, and you can use up and down to move it around in there. You can also use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Left to pull it up in scope, outside of the if block.
Alternatively, you can put the text caret on the outside of the closing brace of the if block and use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Down to move the brace down, stepping over following statements, including them inside the if block.
These keys can do a lot more than just move a single statement. If you put the text caret on a method or class declaration, Up and Down will move the entire method or class declaration up and down. If you put the text caret in the parameter list of a method, Left and Right will rearrange individual parameters (and then Alt+Enter can invoke the Change Signature refactoring).

I'm Using resharper 6 nighty builds and VB.net. I've a big medium project with multiple files that don't follow the code style conventions of my company.
I've configured resharper with my own convenctions and It suggest to me the right name for each variable (perfect!).
But I can't find any automagic way to make the current name to be replaced with the suggested name.
Are there any way to do it? If not ... did you know ane fearure of coderush Xpress to achieve it?
Thanks.
If you've configured ReSharper with your naming conventions, then it should show a warning (blue squiggly underline) under any identifiers that don't comply. If you put the text cursor on one of those misnamed identifiers, you should see a pyramid icon appear near the left margin. Then you can press Alt+Enter (or click the pyramid icon) to drop down a quick-fix menu. There should be an option in the menu to "Rename to '_myField'". Usually it's the first item in the list, so you can just press Enter again to do the rename.
If you want to do this on everything in a source file, you can use the ReSharper > Inspect > Next Issue in File command (or its keyboard shortcut -- F12 in the IDEA keymap) to move the cursor to the next warning in the file. Then, if it's another name warning, you can use Alt+Enter, Enter again to fix it.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to automatically fix every instance of a warning at once (though it's been requested; please feel free to vote for RSRP-126551 in their issue tracker).
