Visual Studio clipboard ring and other keyboard shortcuts

Tuesday, February 13, 2007 Labels: , ,

Visualstudiohacks.com is always my first choice for getting the low-down on Visual Studio. On their site I found a great shortcut key to cycle through the VS clipboard ring. In doing so, I remembered that VS actually had a clipboard ring, too. I remember being excited that they were adding one, but I must've forgotten about it. It's excellent. I found it here: http://www.visualstudiohacks.com/navtricks.

CLIPBOARD RING

Ctrl + Shift + V

Cycle through items copied to clipboard

The clipboard ring's a terrific tool for doing mass edits. Move a number of items into the clipboard ring via any Copy or Cut command, then cycle through those items as you're pasting away.
