Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools and closing square bracket problem on AZERTY
Posted by Kristof in .NET, Programming, Visual StudioThere seems to be a problem with the default keyboard mapping of the so called ‘Align Assignments’ found in the Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools.
The default shortcut is mapped to Control + Alt + ]. While this is not a problem on a QWERTY these keystrokes are used to type a square bracket on a AZERTY keyboard:
As you can see the character on the lower right corner needs to be accessed with Ctrl + Alt + key or the Alt Gr + key. This way you trigger the ‘Edit.AlignAssignments’ on your keyboard. Thus the ‘]’ doesn’t appears on screen, it merely aligns the current line.
Solution: remove or remap the shortcut.
Thanks to Gill Cleeren for pointing out this problem.
