Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Visual Studio Toolbox: Productivity Power Tools Part 2 http://ak.channel9.msdn.com/ch9/07a8/ab824886-c31b-4585-80ca-9ee700db07a8/VSToolbox02_100_ch9.jpg Channel 9 - Visual Studio Toolbox: Productivity Power Tools Part 2 Previously on Visual Studio Toolbox, we started looking at the Productivity Power Tools. In this episode, we explore additional features of this excellent extension. We will see enhancements to the Document Tab Well that make it easier to work with code files, and we'll take a look at both the Quick Find and Quick Access features. Quick Find makes searching in code a better experience and Quick Access means you don't have to remember where things are in the menu. Enhancements to the scroll bar and a new Add Reference dialog box are also covered. en Sat, 25 May 2013 05:26:38 GMT Sat, 25 May 2013 05:26:38 GMT Rev9 Re: Visual Studio Toolbox: Productivity Power Tools Part 2 Another excellent video with lots of information.

Continue with the good work!

Thanks.

So the Quick find ctl-3 . . . not working for me . . . probably lost when I recently uninstalled Resharper.

How do I get it back?

b) Watch the episodes at 1.5-2x speed, that way silly talk moves faster or use VLC CTRL+Right

c) Read the article instead of watching. That would be even faster.
BTW: Then you can summarize in bullet points and post a link to your blog here.

I've been "learning as I use", so without videos like this, someone like me would probably never even discover all the features of PPT.

I'll probably check this out when I get to VS, so I hope its there (if not please consider this a "wish"):

So you have multiple files from different projects in your solution. Their tabs are color coded. Would it be possible to group the tab display "per project"? All "blue tabs" (of project A) are grouped/sorted/or in it's own horizontal row (or vertical column, ugh, probably just grouped for vertical display), all "red tabs" of project B are same..and so on....

Thanks for the great instructional video!

Either way its wrong.

Productivity Power Tools is somewhat useful but it do slow down visual studio which is already slow due to wpf :(
Just use the quick find on a large file for example.
It actually hangs visual studio for a few seconds and i have a core i7 cpu !!!

Ever since they switched to wpf visual studio have become slow.
I have both vs2010 and vs2008 installed and i notice a BIG difference in speed and performance.
Stupid stubborn people, refuse to acknowledge that wpf is a crappy thing and should be deprecated at once.
We users are the ones that have to pay for your incompetence and stubborn stupidity.
Do the users a favor and remove wpf from visual studio, please!
