Question

In Visual Studio 2010 pressing Alt + Enter should open F# Interactive?

I'm selecting F# code, and pressing Alt + Enter, but nothing happens!

Answer 1

The command to assign (in Tools-Options-Keyboard) is called

EditorContextMenus.CodeWindow.ExecuteInInteractive

By default, the hot-key combination, within a TextEditor is Alt+Enter. I like Joel's idea of remapping it (since ReSharper stole that one) to Alt+;.

Answer 2

The keybindings depend on the global environment settings (and you can also change them), but:

• The default keybinding for opening F# interacative (if it is closed) is Ctrl + Alt + F. Otherwise, you can find the window in View -> Other Windows -> F# Interactive
• Then you should be able to use Alt + Enter to interactively execute the selected text.

Answer 3

No. It copies and executes the selected texts to the interactive window. You need to already have opened the interactive session.
