Microsoft released VS 2010 Power Tools to help developers more productive.
I've tried the extensions and they're very cool.Some of the features are:
1. Add Reference Dialog now includes Search box to quickly find the reference you're looking for. It also loads way faster than before.
2. Document Tab Well - document tabs can now be configured with different options to choose from
3. Extension Update
4. HTML copy - you can now copy the code as it is written in the editor and paste it anywhere as HTML formatted. Just like posting it as bug report.
5. Triple Click - triple click to select a line of code.
6. Fix Mixed Tabs
7. Highlight Current Line - I like this 'coz I won't find it hard where I'm currently in.
8. Ctrl - Click Go To Definition - by holding Ctrl key, your symbol will appear as hyperlink. Of course, F12 is still there.
9. Align Assignments - a very cool formatting by aligning the assignments. So if you have bunch of variables with different length you can just hit Ctrl + Alt + ] to tabified the equal sign to make it more readable. Just note that it conflicts with C# formatting "Ignore spaces in declaration statements"
10. Move LineUp/Down Commands - I just learned that it has similar commands in Office. So if you want to movethe current line of code or selected lines up or down, you just hit Alt + Up Arrow or Alt + Down Arrow. (In Office you'll use Alt + Shift + Up or Down Arrow)
11. Column Guides - no you can draw a vertical line in the code editor. This is useful to remind developers that
their code is too long. Right-click in the Code Editor and select Add Guideline. ( I tried this but now I don't know how remove the vertical line. :D )
12. Colorized Parameter Help - the symbols in tooltip now has color not just the old plain bold black.
