Hey, something simple... when your program is stuck in an infinate loop, as is the case with me a time or two, then hit Pause, or Shift and then pause and this will stop the program--rather than closing VB through CTRL ALT DEL.

Also, a non-VB shortcut which I use most in my life is...


WindowsKey & E

This brings up The windows Explorer!

I just learned that F8 will step through the code as long as you put a breakpoint in you code before running it. This has been really handy lately.

LF

You can also do what Homersim2600 said wint Control & Break.

And another thing...

You may like to tryshift and the mouse wheel or ctrl and the mouse wheel while in internet explorer.

Why is it, I still think in terms of spectrum BASIC!

Not so much a VB trick but I've found it useful non the less. Left ALT+Shift to change input languages on keyboard.

Another one is...
F7 will take you to code window if you are in design view and SHIFT + F7 will take you to the design view if you are in code window.

 

[PankajBanga]

Few more

CTRL + R --> Solution Explorer

F4 --> Property Window

CTRL + T --> opens Customize Toolbox window (VB.Net), Components Window in (VB6)

F2 --> Object Browser

CTRL + SHIFT + C --> Class View Windows (VB.NET)

F9 --> Add/Remove Breakpoint

CTRL + G --> Immediate Window

 

[ESquared]

Yeah, but after you press Ctrl-G, how do you get back to the code window?

To elaborate on Razvi's comment:

From the code window, Shift-F7 takes you to the form whether it is open (in design view or normal view) or closed (form opens in design view).

From the form, F7 does a spell check in normal view, and only takes you to the code for that form if it's in design view.

So in normal form view, Alt-F11 will at least get you to the VB window, although it won't open to the code for the form like F7 does.
