I use both eclipse and visual studio (2008 right now) a lot. But there are some shortcut keys from eclipse that I really miss in Visual Studio that I haven't been able to locate. Does anyone know if these exists in Visual Studio?
Being able to search in your open window tabs - this is Ctrl+E in eclipse I think? I know you can navigate, but not search.
open type
open type heirarchy
open resource
move selected lines up or down (Alt+Up/Down)
move to last edited line (NOT Ctrl+- / Ctrl+Shift+- in VS and not Ctrl+Z, which only works if you're in the same file?)
If they don't exist, anyone got a good resource on how you can program shortcuts yourself for VS?
The Global context means that the shortcut is applicable in any tool window in Visual Studio. You can look up the shortcut for any command by opening the Options dialog box, expanding the Environment node, and then choosing Keyboard.
Peek Definition Alt+F12 If you've installed Visual Studio 2013, there's a new keyboard shortcut -- Alt+F12 -- that will give you a preview of the method being called inline.
Just published new extension for Visual Studio: Meet IntelliCommand (Visual Studio 2010/2012 extension)
This may help you for the moving of selected lines: Visual Studio: hotkeys to move line up/down and move through recent changes
Still searching on the others.
Go to Settings keymaps and search for eclipse. If you install Eclipse Keymap from Alphabot Security plugin in VS Code. It has most of the shortcut from eclipse.
There is an "AsEclipse" plugin that should provide most functionality:

I am a first time user of VS. Open Resource and Open Type look to be pretty well covered by Search in Solution Explorer, which is accessed using Ctrl+;
