If you have been putting off SharePoint development until 2010 in the hopes that such development will get streamlined, I have both good and bad news for you. The good news is that development on the SharePoint Server 2010 has improved significantly with strong Visual Studio 2010 support, application life-cycle management support, SharePoint LINQ, sandboxed deployment, MSBuild support, etc. The bad news is it is time to get off the sidelines and dive into learning this new platform. In this column we introduce what makes SharePoint 2010 development so much better than before and why it is time to get [...]

In this edition, I am going to wrap up a few loose ends with a selection of miscellaneous keyboard shortcuts and links to a summary keyboard shortcut poster.
Debugging:
I realize that none of you would write bugs, but in case you meet someone that does or perhaps on occasion you need to debug some code in order to explain a complex algorithm, here are some invaluable debugging keyboard shortcuts.

F9 creates or removes a breakpoint based on the cursor’s current location. CTRL+F9 toggles whether a breakpoint is enabled or not.
F5, CTRL+F5 and SHIFT+F5
CTRL+F5 launches the application or begins running the [...]

Knowing all the keyboard shortcuts for editing shows off our programming prowess, just like it would it did for programmers that could use VI. Rather than describing the well known ones like CTRL+F and CTRL+H, I am going to review some that are more unique to Visual Studio Programming:
Find
CTRL+I/CTRL+Shift+I
Incremental Search: Turns on incremental search so that characters typed next will be search for in sequence within the file. Use CTRL+Shift+I to search up and ESC to cancel.
CTRL+Shift+F and Ctrl+Shift+H
Find in Files: Displays the find dialog with Look in: set to [...]

There is not much point in writing code if you can’t compile it so, in this edition’s keyboard shortcut tips and tricks, we are going to discuss compiling your code. For both Visual C# and Visual Basic schemes, you can compile the entire solution using Ctrl+Shift+B. However, three keys (requiring two hands and an elbow) is a little unfriendly for what should be a relatively frequent operation. Fortunately, the Visual C# scheme also allows F6 for the same activity and you could map the same key for Visual Basic (unless splitting the window is a frequent occurrence for [...]
