How do you clean up the files in a project quickly?

Put your hands on your keyboard, don’t touch the mouse.

CTRL-ALT-L; Down Arrow (to a file), Enter, CTRL-ALT-F, Enter, (F12, Alt-Enter, Enter (repeat all necessary loops)), CTRL-ALT-F, Enter, CTRL-S, CTRL-F4

Repeat until you reach the end of the file list.  *note* you have to have Resharper.  If you don’t, shame on you.  Your job is harder than mine.

Update:  This is using IntelliJ mappings.  The key sequences are as follows:

CTLR-ALT-L – move from editor window to solution explorer.

CTRL-ALT-F – reformat code

F12 – move to next error/problem/issue

ALT-ENTER – suggestions for fixing issue

CTRL-S – save the file

CTRL-F4 – close the fil

LOL...Thanks I didn't know you could do that at the solution level.  But theoretically you should only have to do this once and then work per file!

Joe, yeah you can do the reformatting at the solution level.  That is very helpful.  As far as clearing the problems, that still has to be done file by file, but it doesn't get any easier than using Resharper and not touching your mouse.  That F12, Alt-Enter, Enter combo wipes out issues very quickly.

...Yeah, your job looks really easy compared to mine.

Developer,

What does that key combination do, since your sarcasm suggests that it is difficult compared to the solution it provides?

Let me guess, you don't have a clue.

That key combination is pretty ridiculous, even by the anti-Mouse crowd standards. That screams 'macro' or something.

Kinda reminds me of the old KonamiCode:  UUDDLRLRBASelectStart

cmyers,

If you understand what you are getting out of that key combination, and how fast you can actually work when using it, I think you'd have a different point of view.

And you wouldn't want to macro that.  The F12, Alt-Enter, Enter combination you never know how many times you will loop, and you want to examine what the GCA is telling you about the problem to see if you want to address it with default suggestive solutions.

Doesnt the latest (daily build/beta/whatever) r# do this at the solution level?  I mean, I'm happy for your bionic hands and will gladly chip in when it comes time to fit you for wrist braces, and I know you're a proud man with nice sunglasses, but come on, lets just drop 100mg of Zoloft to kill the OCD for the afternoon and clean the files up as we get to them.

You can also just select the solution in Solution Explorer and say "CTRL+ALT+F".  R# (at least 3.0.2, anyway) will automatically reformat every file it finds under the solution.

Same thing applies if select a project.

Hope this helps,

Jeremy

Can you write out what these steps to?  My keyboard mappings must be set up different than yours because I just end up in the File Structure window.

HI, I have resharper but my keybindings are different. What does this shortcuts do ?

Or for the anti-alt.net guys, you can just right click on the solution and select "reformat code". ;)

Thanks for sharing these shortcuts.  I can still remember way back in my younger days at school when the mouse wasn’t invented yet.  We were forced to memorize all shortcuts using the computer keyboard in order to deal head on with any error or issues every time we use the monster computer.
