Menu
So I have a form with lots of controls that all have a tab index.
After inserting some extra fields, I have to edit the index of all controls after the new ones.
Is there a simple way to automate this in Visual Studio, or is there some sort of plugin?

Right-click in the form, but not on a control. From the shortcut menu, choose Tab Order. Select the name of a control that you want to reposition in the tab order. Choose Move Up or Move Down until the control name is in the appropriate position in the tab order.
Control tab order is determined by the order in which controls are drawn on the screen. The first control that you draw is assigned a tab order of 1 , the next is given tab order number 2 , and so on.
[Both] tabindex="0" and tabindex="-1" have special meaning and provide distinct functionality in HTML. A value of 0 indicates that the element should be placed in the default navigation order. This allows elements that are not natively focusable (such as <div> , <span> , and <p> ) to receive keyboard focus.
Assuming you are talking about a Windows Forms UI. You can click Menu: View | Tab Order, then just click through th controls that you want the tab order to be in. There doesn't appear to be anything similar for web-based UI in Visual Studio.

Make the tabindex's increment by 5 or 10 then if you do insert new controls you dont have this issue.
