Ctrl+D selects the word at the cursor, or the next occurrence of the current selection. Tip: You can also add more cursors with Ctrl+Shift+L, which will add a selection at each occurrence of the current selected text.
Hold down the "Ctrl" key and the "Shift" key. Press the right arrow key to select the word to the right, or press the left arrow key to select the word to the left. Select one character at a time by holding down the "Shift" key and and using either arrow key (right or left).
Ctrl+K for Removing Bookmarks Visual Studio contains a characteristic that enables users to add a bookmark. This bookmark can be added to a line of code in a solution.
In Tools | Options | Environment | Keyboard enter "Word" into "Show commands containing" and see all commands associated with words.
Here the command Edit.SelectCurrentWord is assigned to Ctrl + W, but your setup might be different. Ctrl + Shift + W is another common setting.

When using Resharper 'Shift + Ctrl + W' shortcut may be overriden and not working. Create new shortcut for Edit.SelectCurrentWord as 'Ctrl + W, Ctrl + W'. It works fine so you may use this and resharper shortcuts.
