copied!<p>For editing and rearranging I've found the following 3 very useful, even though they're not on the home row:</p> <ul> <li><p>Keypad <kbd>+</kbd> for <code>Edit.Copy</code></p></li> <li><p>Keypad <kbd>-</kbd> for <code>Edit.Cut</code></p></li> <li><p>Keypad <kbd>*</kbd> for <code>Edit.Paste</code></p></li> </ul> <p>These are easy to hit (even with the right thumb, at a pinch, if your right hand is holding the mouse) and require no meta keys. I often work by writing snippets then turning it into compilable code using search and replace, and then copying in words from elsewhere. The second step is usually most efficiently done by using the cursor with the mouse, so I've not found it a problem that these keys are so far away from the typing set -- being able to hit them without meta keys is more important.</p> <p>(For commenting out large swathes of code, the above makes it impossible to use the numeric keypad to quickly add in <code>/*</code> or <code>*/</code>. I've taken to using <code>Edit.CommentSelection</code> and <code>Edit.UncommentSelection</code> instead, or Visual Assist's comment selection facility. These have the additional slight advantage of not producing unnestable comments.)</p> <p>Only other particularly useful shortcuts I find myself stuck without are these two:</p> <ul> <li><kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>1</kbd> for <code>View.FindResults1</code></li> <li><kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>2</kbd> for <code>View.FindResults2</code></li> </ul> <p>The other lesser windows have keyboard shortcuts for them by default; I'm not sure why the Find Results windows don't.</p>
