Ctrl+R, Ctrl+R command not working

Question

I'm attempting to use the Ctrl+R, Ctrl+R command within Visual Studio 2008 to rename a variable. I get an error message at the bottom saying that

"The key combination (Ctrl+R, Ctrl+R) is bound to command (&Rename...) which is not currently available."

I am not running it or anything I can think of which might prohibit modifications of the file and the F2 command allows a rename to happen. Anyone know how to fix this?

EDIT: I do have Resharper installed but was previously able to do this with the same setup, I recently migrated computers.

Answer 1

I was able to fix this by doing the following:

1. Go to Resharper → Options menu commmand
2. Select Environment → Keyboard & Menus
3. Select the Visual Studio option under Keyboard Shortcuts
4. Click Apply Scheme and Save

This will cause Ctrl+R, Ctrl+R to do a rename. (Select ReSharper options in the dialog box that pops up then.)

However, it made F2 no longer able to preform a rename. I was able to fix that by doing the following:

1. Go to ReSharper → Options menu command
2. Select Environment → General
3. Select the ReSharper 2.x or IntelliJ IDEA under Restore ReSharper keyboard shortcuts
4. Click Apply or OK

This allows both F2 and Ctrl+R, Ctrl+R commands to work for renaming a variable.

This seems to be specific to ReSharper being installed with Visual Studio, I don't know what the solution would be to fix this if ReSharper weren't installed.

For Resharper 6

You should:

• Select menu "Resharper" - "Options..."
• Select "Visual Studio Integration"
• Choose "Visual Studio" in both places
• Click "Apply Scheme"

It will either works or you will have a selection to do (Visual Studio or Resharper), if it is so, then choose Resharper.
