Hello guys,
Today, I would like to share some visual studio shortcuts that I use when I code, and hopefully, you would find some useful.
Here we go.
- Duplicate code: I often need to duplicate a line of code when i work. This can be done by copy-pasting the code in a new line but you get to save some time by using the shortcut below. To duplicate a block of code, highlight the code then use the shortcut below.
ctrl + shift + arrow down (Windows)
cmd + shift + arrow down (Mac)
