Top 10 Keyboard Shortcuts in Unity and Visual Studio
What are the top 10 keyboard shortcuts you can use when coding in Unity and Visual Studio? Note: I am using Visual Studio 2017 in this video. Let's take a look at the full list of keyboard shorts you can use in Visual Studio to make your coding faster and more efficient.
#1: Use CTRL+M+O to quickly fold all methods. You can use CTRL+M+P to unfold all the methods.
#2: Use CTRL+M+M to fold the selected area. This folds/unfolds whatever you have selected (or where your curser is) so be careful!
#3: Use CTRL+C+V to quickly duplicate the current line. Handy for when you need to create several similar variables or lines of code.
#4: Is your code looking a little strange? Highlight an area and press CTRL+K+F to format the current selection.
#5: Use CTRL+K+S to place highlighted code in a snippet. A snippet can be something like a #region, an if statement or a loop.
#6: Use ALT+SHIFT+ENTER to enter fullscreen mode. Handy to keep yourself on focus.
#7: Use CTRL+K+C to quickly comment selected code. Use CTRL+K+U to uncomment that same code.
#8 - This one is a little more involved. Press CTRL+K+K to bookmark a line of code. Then, use CTRL+K+N to move to the next bookmarked area. You can also use CTRL+K+W to see all of your bookmarked code regions in a window.
#9 - Use CTRL+ ] (that's control, plus the single left facing square bracket) to find the missing / matching bracket in your code.
#10 - Use F12 to go to the selected code's definition. Press SHIFT+F12 to view all code references.
I hope this handy list of the top 10 keyboard shorts in Unity and Visual Studio will be a handy reference!
