    text
    copied!<p>I am going to be doing the codekata defined on Roy Osherove's blog <a href="http://osherove.com/tdd-kata-1/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">HERE</a>. </p> <p>One of the rules is that you cannot use the mouse while doing the kata. </p> <p>Today, my first attempt at doing the kata I have spent the whole time trying to better understand how to use VS without the mouse. I have learned that CTL-ALT-A will be my friend because I can type commands there. </p> <p>Does somebody have a pointer to a complete reference to the VS Commmands. I want the command name (Edit.ToggleBookmark), command keystroke (like Ctl-K,K), and any arguments required by the command.</p> <p>Some specific questons I have. </p> <ul> <li>Does someone know a keystroke for pinning the active window without using the mouse.</li> <li>Also, I cannot figure out how to add a reference without using the keyboard. </li> </ul> <p>If you can help with those two then I will be significantly farther along.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Seth</p> <p><strong>edit</strong></p> <p>Just figured out how to add references. I was working on a project that was not saved and Add References command (Project.AddReference) was returning an error...and I thought it was because I was using the command...but it was actually because I had not saved the project yet. </p> <p>SO.... if you could help me with the window pinning that would be great.</p> <p>Seth</p> <p><strong>EVEN WITH ALL THE HELPS</strong> FIGURING OUT COMMANDS...I still cannot figure out how to<br> - pin a Visual Studio window so it stays open.<br> - And how do you trigger the context menu any a window. For example, solution explorer?<br> - How do you delete or remove a file?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> </p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/559251/right-click-keyboard-short-cut-for-visual-studio">This StackOverflow question</a> answers the context menu question.</p> <p>Now...if someone can tell me how to pin a window. That would be awesome.</p> <p>Seth</p>
