Shift + Enter no longer adds a new line in Visual Studio

Question

I installed the Visual Studio 2010 productivity power tools, and since then Shift + Enter does not add a new line in the text editor. I've tried disabling all of the productivity tools settings and even uninstalling the productivity power tools entirely, but Shift + Enter still does nothing. I can't find the setting for this.

How can I re-enable shift + enter to add a space (just like enter alone does)?

Answer 1

• Go to Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard.
• Switch the "Use new shortcut in:" dropdown to "Text Editor".
• Pick the Edit.BreakLine command.
• In the Press shortcut keys edit pane press Shift+Enter.

Answer 2

From Options menu, select "Environment", then "Keyboard" that gives you the option of setting keyboard shortcuts. The one you want should be "Edit.BreakLine" - you can search for them. Selecting this, you can then add/remove assosciated shortcuts.
