Using the refactoring via keyboard is now very easy. (Did I already say thank you thank you thank you? :D )

Still a problem: Duplicate accelerator keys, e.g. "&Rename" and "Find &References"

This prevents me from simply using e.g. [Alt-S] [R] (alt-s being the context menu shortcut). Most commands work this way, but for these two it's [Alt-S] [R] [ENTER] / [Alt-S] [R] [R] [ENTER].

And if I happen to have a context menu with only on "R" command, both are dangerous due to the extra Enter.

I don't care about which accelerators, as long as they are unique for all refactor operations.

pretty please?

To be honest I think you are right I have had it appear, or not appear, on different days on the same machine with the same solution *sigh*

Once I figured out what was causing the problems I hid it, and I have never looked back.

>> or what makes it appear
the power of rand() maybe ?

In VS2005 if you customise the IDE you can move the Data menu, I have placed it under the Tools menu, and suddenly there is no conflict

I still have no idea what the Data menu is for, or what makes it appear. Some times it is there and some times it is not.

I see what you mean now, I was looking at a different menu. Changing &Rename to Re&name will fix this without clashing with anything else.

I am using the Context menu (I assigned Alt-S to the command that opens it). I see this under both VC6 and VS2005 (C# project), VAX 1540.

I see the same as you describe in the VAssitX menu, where it isn't a problem. But the contexct menu uses different hotkeys.

If you click on the arrow, you can't see the hotkeys, but pressing [R] will just switch between the Find Reference and Rename command, whereas pressing e.g. [S] will immediately execute the command.


BTW. There is something similar with the V&AssistX entry in the main menu (VS2005): it conflicts with the D&ata menu. But that's not as much of an issue (atl least for me), and probably impossible to get right with all the dynamic menus and the different languages - but VAssist&X might be a safe bet :)

Have you customised your VAssistX menu? For me I have the menu options:

V&AssistX -> Fin&d References...
V&AssistX -> &Refactor -> &Rename...

so no duplicates. I made a point of finding duplicates and asking for them to be removed a while ago, since I also like my keyboard access

Also it is Alt-a for me to open the VAssistX menu, not Alt-s.

Which IDE are you using? If you are using VC6 then you will have had to add this menu manually.
