Keyboard Shortcuts

Enabling Shorcuts Browser

• In ReSharper

  Options

  Environment

  Keyboard & Menus

  Enable Shortcut Browser checkbox

• Press left Ctrl key 3 times in a row within 1.5 seconds
• Note that within the browser, if you press on Ctrl, Alt or Shift (or combinations), it will show shortcuts using these modifiers

Re-enabling “Go To File Member” Shortcut

For some reason, new versions of R# (year 2017) no longer have the Alt+\ (Go to file member) shortcut. To re-enable it, go to VS keyboard customization dialog and add ReSharper.ReSharper_GotoFileMember shortcut.

Settings to make sure you have

• Code Editing / C# / Formatting Style / Line Breaks and Wrapping / Keep existing line breaks should be unchecked
• Code Editing / C# / Formatting Style / Line Breaks and Wrapping / Hard wrap at should be set to 80
• Code Editing / C# / Code Style / 'var' Usage in Declarations should all be set to Use explicit type

Troubleshooting

Solution-Wide Analysis

Sometimes (when moving projects, for example), R# Solution-Wide Analysis does not detect the newly moved projects and reports missing references. Solution: unload and reload the project in Visual Studio.

xUnit tests not being recognized

First of all, you need xunit.runner.visualstudio NuGet package installed in your test project. If this still doesn’t help, clear Resharper cache and restart Visual Studio.

Keyboard shortcuts I’m using in VS/R#

This is a growing list of keyboard shortcuts I’m using. The idea is to then try to map these to Rider/VS Code/IntelliJ

• Ctrl+Shift+B - build solution
• Shift+Alt+B - rebuild solution
• Shift+Alt+PgDn/Shift+Alt+PgUp - next/previous error in solution
• F8/Shift+F8 - next/previous build error
