Keyboard Short Cut of the Week – 3

I’m going out on a limb here, all of you know that, within Visual Studio, pressing F9 will toggle a breakpoint.  If you didn’t know that then you get 2 short cuts this week.

A related short cut that not every one knows or uses, is Ctrl+Shift+F9.  This allows you to very quickly remove all breakpoints you may have set.  You get prompted to confirm the action, with ‘Yes’ being the default action, so the full set is Ctrl+Shift+F9 followed by Enter to delete all breakpoints.

It is possible to disable all breakpoints, although there is no default short cut key defined for this.  If you use breakpoints a lot then I would highly recommend that you set a short cut for this as it will save you lots of time.

That’s about it for now.  Thanks for reading and see you next time.
