I have a real simple and seemingly stupid question, but I am getting alittle frusterated. I really like the intellesence in Visual Studio 2008, but there is one thing that is bothering me. When I am writing some XAML, and the intellesence comes up, I select the appropriate property and it automatically inserts it along with the nessesaty ="" and then puts the cursor in between the double quotes. When I type in the value I want, I don't know how to jump out of the double quotes. I can use the arrow key or the mouse, but that requires leaving the home row, and I don't want to do that. Anyone know what I am missing?
Thanks,
If you need to use the double quote inside the string, you can use the backslash character. Notice how the backslash in the second line is used to escape the double quote characters. And the single quote can be used without a backslash.
Single quotation marks on Windows Press-and-hold the ALT key and then type 0145 for the opening single quotation mark and ALT followed by 0146 for the closing single quotation mark.
Try using Ctrl+U
This shortcut would replace and lowercase whatever letter after the cursor.
Using this shortcut on a symbol would replace it with the same symbol.
Your hands won't leave the home row keys and your cursor would be placed after the ending quotation mark.
You could bind IDE command Edit.WordNext
to the keyboard combination which comfortable for you. Say you could bind it to Ctrl+\, Ctrl+\
