Hello:
I've been noticing that my work computers don't seem to let me use the Alt-X command shortcut in order to pull down the Visual Assist pull down.
I can do this fine at home, and while I thought for a while it must just be me, I recently started at a new company with a new machine and install, and it still occurs.
The only commonality between the two setups, near as I can tell, is that they both are Visual Studio 2008 with the Xbox XDK installed.
I'm not sure if there's any way for you guys to verify this bug however, but I thought I'd mention it in case you hear of similar reports; or better yet, if you know of this issue and could possibly help me out. ;)
Thanks! |

All VA commands are bindable. Just check the binging here:
Tools -> Options... -> Advanced -> Keyboard
here, type VAssistX.RefactorContextMenu to the filter listbox, so you can check if it's still binded and you can re-bind if not. |

| On the IDE menu bar, is there a second menu item with X as its keyboard shortcut key? If so then this might explain the problem you are seeing. |

@accord: Ah, I think I was unclear, or else I don't understand entirely. I'm looking for the shortcut key for the pull down menu for VAssistX (i.e., Alt-F brings down the 'File' menu, Alt-X normally does the same thing for the VAssistX menu. I don't believe those are re-assignable, but please correct me if I'm wrong!).
That said, your post led me to find the Shift-Alt-Q keyboard shortcut for refactoring; which is awesome! Thanks!
@feline: That's the weird part. There's no other pull down menus with Alt-X. All I have is &File, &Edit, &View, VAssist&X, &Project, &Build, &Debug, &Tools, T&est, &Window and &Help -- & indicating the location of the denoted shortcut key. And the only one that doesn't work among that list is Alt-X.
Unfortunately I don't know how to debug this further. My instinct (given accords insight) is that perhaps I should troll through the list of Keyboard Shortcuts and see if anyone's overriding Alt-X with some other command. |

Actually, you can change the menu text.
Tools | Customize
Now, ignore the dialog and right-click on VAssistX in the menubar. You can change the name and/or move the & to something other than X. |

Holy hell! Great tip sean; I never knew you could do that.
Oddly enough, renaming it to V&AssistX works now with Alt-A. I'll give that a shot and see if it doesn't override anything.
Thanks for the help! Still odd that it happens at all, but at least my fingers are happier. ;) |
