    copied!<p>I'd like to use the keyboard more in Visual Studio, and my memory for <code>ctrl+alt+f??, alt+??</code> key combinations is failing me. </p> <p>I'd prefer an adjunct like the emacs model, where it's possible to search commands by name; For instance, in emacs you type</p> <pre><code>alt+x enab &lt;tab&gt;&lt;tab&gt; </code></pre> <p>and it presents you with a list of commands starting 'enab';</p> <pre><code>enable-command enable-flow-control enable-theme </code></pre> <p>I'd like to know if there is a shortcut or extension so that I could do something similar in VS, like</p> <pre><code>alt+x imm &lt;tab&gt;&lt;tab&gt; </code></pre> <p>and then choose to execute one of</p> <pre><code>Debug.Immediate Tools.ImmediateMode </code></pre> <p>Any clues?</p> <p><em>EDIT</em></p> <p>Both @Trillian and @the_mandrill have given me the right answers. It turns out there are two ways to enter the kind of mode I'm looking for;</p> <p>1) The <code>Edit.GoToFindCombo</code>, which gives you a small bit of menu-bar space to type things like </p> <pre><code>&gt;Debug.Immediate </code></pre> <p>2) The <code>View.CommandWindow</code>, which gives you a full panel (like the immediate window or the output window) which allows you to type in a bit more space and see the text output of executed commands. </p> <p>It's also possible to alias commands in either window yourself, using the command window and a syntax like</p> <pre><code>alias sol View.SolutionExplorer </code></pre> <p>And to retrieve the current list like </p> <pre><code>alias </code></pre> <p>I've mapped <code>Edit.GoToFindCombo</code> to <code>alt-x</code> and <code>View.CommandWindow</code> to <code>alt-shift-x</code> and it's feelimg more emacs-y already :)</p>
