Build, debug, navigate and refactor in Microsoft's Windows IDE. Several commands use two-key chords.
The debugging keys are the ones you'll wear out. F5 starts debugging and Ctrl + F5 runs without the debugger attached; once you hit a breakpoint (set with F9), F10 steps over a line, F11 steps into a call and Shift + F11 steps back out. Knowing those four movements cold is the difference between flowing through a debugging session and constantly reaching for the toolbar.
Visual Studio leans on two-key chords, which look intimidating but are fast once they're in your fingers: Ctrl + K, Ctrl + C comments a selection and Ctrl + K, Ctrl + D reformats the file. The single most useful non-chord is Ctrl + . (Quick Actions), which surfaces refactors, missing imports and fixes right where the cursor sits. Combine it with Ctrl + T to jump to any file, type or member, and you can navigate a large solution without the mouse. For the lighter editor, see the VS Code shortcuts.
