VS Shortcut Keys

No need to search Google for Visual Studio Shortcuts keys. You can get the Keyboard mappings by going to Tools –> Options –>Environment –> Keyboard.
ShortscutKeys
But there is an easy and well formatted way to get this. Some action has more than one shortcut key. Below is the Macro code for the same. Click here for details
   1:  Imports EnvDTE
   2:  Imports System.Diagnostics
   3:   
   4:  Public Module KeyboardShortcuts
   5:   
   6:      Sub ListKeyboardShortcuts()
   7:          Dim i As Integer
   8:          Dim j As Integer
   9:          Dim pane As OutputWindowPane = Utilities.GetOutputWindowPane("Commands")
  10:          Dim keys As System.Array
  11:   
  12:          pane.Clear()
  13:          pane.OutputString("<font face=arial>")
  14:          pane.OutputString("<table border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bgcolor=f0f0ff>" + Chr(10))
  15:          pane.OutputString("<tr><th colspan=2 bgcolor=d0d0e0>Keyboard Mappings</th></tr>" + Chr(10))
  16:          pane.OutputString("<tr><th bgcolor=e0e0f0>Action</th>")
  17:          pane.OutputString("<th bgcolor=e0e0f0>Key</th></tr>" + Chr(10))
  18:   
  19:          For i = 1 To DTE.Commands.Count
  20:              keys = DTE.Commands.Item(i).Bindings
  21:              If keys.Length > 0 Then
  22:                  pane.OutputString("<tr>")
  23:   
  24:                  'DTE.Commands.Item(i).Name() is sometimes blank.
  25:                  'We will print an m-dash in this case, as printing a blank table cell is visually
  26:                  'misleading, as such a cell has no borders, making it appear to be attached to
  27:                  'another cell.
  28:                  If DTE.Commands.Item(i).Name() <> "" Then
  29:                      pane.OutputString("<td valign=top>" + DTE.Commands.Item(i).Name())
  30:                  Else
  31:                      pane.OutputString("<td><center>&mdash;</center>")
  32:                  End If
  33:   
  34:                  pane.OutputString("</td><td>")
  35:                  For j = 0 To keys.Length - 1
  36:                      If j > 0 Then
  37:                          pane.OutputString("<br/>")
  38:                      End If
  39:                      pane.OutputString(keys(j))
  40:                  Next
  41:                  pane.OutputString("</td></tr>" + Chr(10))
  42:              End If
  43:          Next
  44:   
  45:          pane.OutputString("</table></font>")
  46:   
  47:      End Sub
  48:   
  49:  End Module


Run the Macro and copy the output and create a Html file. Below is my keyboard mapping for VS 2008:

Beauty of Web

IE9 has really impressed a lot of users. This version of IE has lot of features compared to the previous versions. The use of CSS3, JQuery, and HTML5 in IE9 runs everything smoothly. I visited a site Beauty of Web where it has listed some amazing sites that are really beautiful. I am wondering what else is remaining to do in the thin client. Rich graphics and so responsive performance of IE9 is really great. To browse these sites you need IE9 or any other browsers that support HTML5 and CSS3. Some sites will take time to download its content (It depends upon your internet speed) so be patient. 

1. Endlessmural

2. National Museum of China
The National Museum of China has created an outstanding VR experience to display our finest art work while keeping load time to a minimum. HTML5 in Internet Explorer 9 is perfect for this: easy to develop with great flexibility, and thanks to the Internet Explorer 9’s all-around speed, even the 3D Javascript scenario runs flawlessly...

Internet Explorer 9

Here are some great features of IE9 which make it different from other browsers:
Pin sites to the taskbar
You can access websites that you visit regularly by pinning them to the taskbar on your Windows 7 desktop.
Search in the Address bar
You can now search directly from the Address bar. If you enter a website's address, you'll go directly to the website. If you enter a search term or incomplete address, you'll launch a search using the currently selected search engine. Click the address bar to select your search engine from the listed icons or to add new ones.
