    <p>I have a macro which compares a file from Pending Changes view with the latest version on Source Control.</p> <p>Procedure: first I select the file, then I run the macro, and this works fine. I tried assigning several keyboard shortcuts for running this macro:</p> <pre><code>Ctrl+Q,C Ctrl+Q,Ctrl+Q Ctrl+Q,Ctrl+C Ctrl+T,Ctrl+Q Ctrl+T,Ctrl+C Ctrl+Shift+\ </code></pre> <p>I was able to assign them all in Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard, and none of them were used for anything else (as stated in 'Shortcut currently used by'). However, for some reason Ctrl+Q,Ctrl+C and Ctrl+T,Ctrl+C don't work. The others work fine.</p> <p>So, why doesn't Ctrl+Q,Ctrl+C or Ctrl+T,Ctrl+C work? Does it try to copy the selected file in Pending Changes view instead of using Ctrl+C as second part of the macro shortcut?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p> <p>Ok, first of all this is the macro code:</p> <pre><code>Sub CompareMacro() DTE.ExecuteCommand("TeamFoundationContextMenus.SourceControlPendingChangesSourceFiles.Compare.TfsContextPendingCheckinsCompareWithLatestVersion") End Sub </code></pre> <p>I tested it out some more and this is what I found out:</p> <ul> <li>If 'Pending Changes' view has focus, and an item from 'Source Files' list is selected (as it must be for this macro to work), the window will simply not accept the Ctrl+C combination and status bar will just keep displaying '(Ctrl+Q) was pressed. Waiting for second key of chord...' <ul> <li>Note: I tried pasting from clipboard after these actions and it looks like it did a copy operation with that Ctrl+C part - I got something like 'Filename.cs edit D:\path...' when pasting.</li> </ul></li> <li>If 'Pending Changes' view has focus and no item from 'Source Files' list is selected (I can deselect all by restarting visual studio), the shortcut will work, but macro will fail as expected (since it requires an item to be selected).</li> <li>If an item from 'Source Files' is selected, and focus is moved from pending changes window to any other visual studio window (well at least the ones I tried: such as main window, Solution Explorer, Find Symbol Results etc.) the shortcut and macro WILL work. It doesn't matter if I move focus before pressing any key OR after pressing Ctrl+Q but before Ctrl+C, it will work in both cases.</li> <li>I even tried selecting some code in main visual studio view, putting focus on that main view - the shortcut and macro will work without this code being copied to clipboard (unlike when the focus was on 'Pending Changes').</li> </ul> <p>Does 'Pending Changes' handle Ctrl+C in such cases differently than other views?</p>

    1. COI've re-assigned [Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+C] and never had a problem with it. You'll need to elevate this question from "it doesn't work" somehow.

    2. CO@HansPassant I tried this on another computer, and you are right, it works (this time I used a simple 'View Code' macro on a file since I don't have integrated source control here). However I don't think it was an error on my part since both Ctrl+Q,Ctrl+C and Ctrl+T,Ctrl+C don't work at the first computer with that 'Compare to latest' macro (and all other tried-out shortcuts work). I can just make wild guesses: difference in version of Visual Studio (Premium/Ultimate), something with 'Pending Changes' window etc. I'll try it out more tomorrow when I get access to that first computer.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
