In Eclipse there is a shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+F, that re-indents code and fixes comments and blank lines. Is there an equivalent for Visual Studio 2010?
To do this, go to File->Preferences->Settings: Under Text Editor, select Format On Save. Now when saving a file, it will be beautified. THANKS FOR READING.
Auto formatting settings in Visual Studio Show activity on this post. Select the text you want to automatically indent. Click menu Edit → Advanced → *Format Selection, or press Ctrl + K , Ctrl + F . Format Selection applies the smart indenting rules for the language in which you are programming to the selected text.
The code formatting is available in Visual Studio Code through the following shortcuts: On Windows Shift + Alt + F. On Mac Shift + Option + F. On Linux Ctrl + Shift + I.
To access this options page, choose Tools > Options from the menu bar. In the Options dialog box, choose Text Editor > C# > Code Style > Formatting.
To answer the specific question, in C# you are likely to be using the C# keyboard mapping scheme, which will use these hotkeys by default:
Ctrl+E, Ctrl+D to format the entire document.
Ctrl+E, Ctrl+F to format the selection.
You can change these in menu Tools → Options → Environment → Keyboard (either by selecting a different "keyboard mapping scheme", or binding individual keys to the commands "Edit.FormatDocument" and "Edit.FormatSelection").
If you have not chosen to use the C# keyboard mapping scheme, then you may find the key shortcuts are different. For example, if you are not using the C# bindings, the keys are likely to be:
Ctrl + K + D (Entire document)
Ctrl + K + F (Selection only)
To find out which key bindings apply in your copy of Visual Studio, look in menu Edit → Advanced menu - the keys are displayed to the right of the menu items, so it's easy to discover what they are on your system.
(Please do not edit this answer to change the key bindings above to what your system has!)
Ctrl + K + D (Entire document)
Ctrl + K + F (Selection only)
