Display keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio context menus

keyboard-shortcuts, visual-studio

Solution

I don't think you'll be able to get them in the context menus, but you can get them in the tooltips, as when you hover over an item in a toolbar.

Go to `Tools>Customize` and select the checkbox that says `Show shortcut keys in ScreenTips`.

If you go to `Tools>Options>Keyboard` there is a very handy search feature (`Show commands containing:`), so you can find a specific command (and then set or change the key binding, if desired).

Problem

Most of the time I use Visual Studio 2008. When right-clicking in this product, a context menu appears. I'd like to see the keyboard shortcuts bound to each menu item in the context menu. Does anyone know how to display these?
