Visual Studio 2010 Shortcuts and C# 4.0

A list of some shortcus and new features to VS 2010 and C# 4.0:

* Default values for parameters
* Can access parameters by name (i.e. SomeFunction(name: "Dan", age: 26);
* Can now put Labels on breakpoints and filter the breakpoints, as well as import and export breakpoints.
* Window => New Window to open up same file in two separate tabs, or can drag the splitter at the top-right corner of the edit window.
* Edit => Outlining => Hide Selection to collapse any region of code
* Alt + Mouse Left Drag for box selection instead of line selection, then just start typing; you can also use Alt+Shift+Arrow Keys to do box selection with the keyboard.
* Alt+Arrow Keys to move current line up/down. Can also select multiple lines and use Alt+Up/Down to move the whole selection up/down.
* In NavigateTo search window (Ctrl + Comma) use capitals to search for camel casing (i.e. CE to find displayCustomerEmails) and a space to do an "and" search (i.e. "email customer" would find displayCustomerEmails).
* Ctrl + I to do an incremental search of a document, then F3 and Shift + F3 to move to next/previous matches.
* Use snippets to automatically create code and save time.
* Ctrl + Period to access VS tickler window instead of having to hover over the variable with the mouse.
* Ctrl + Alt + Spacebar to change VS to suggest variable names instead of auto completing them.
* Can right click in document to remove and sort using statements.
* Enum.TryParse() has been added to match a string or number to an enumerated type.
* Contract.Requires() and .Ensures() to ensure that function conditions are met (at compile time).
* String.IsNullOrWhitespace(string);
* Lazy for thread-safe lazy loading of variables.
* VS => Options => Debugging => Output Window => Data Binding to give more info about errors.
* Using System.Threading.Tasks for parallel processing. Parallel.For() and .ForEach
* PLINQ => myCollection.InParallel().Where(x => …..);
* New Dynamic keyword type => just like Object except not checked at compile time.
* Ctrl+Shift+V to cycle through clipboard ring
* Alt+Ctrl+Down to access tab menu
* Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down to move between instances of the highlighted variable
* Ctrl+] to move back and forth between a functions opening and closing braces (i.e. "{" and "}"). This appears to also work in XAML!
