In this chapter, we will provide a summary of the most important shortcuts included by default in Visual Studio 2022 and a section that shows how to create our own.

We will review the following topics in this chapter:

  • The most-used shortcuts for use in source code
  • The most common shortcuts for use in the IDE
  • Creating custom shortcuts

When working with Visual Studio, it is extremely important that we know the keyboard shortcuts so that we can carry out operations quickly. This will prevent you from wasting time on repetitive tasks, such as formatting...
