Extremely basic question.
Are there common actions I can perform using keyboard shortcuts in the Windows Forms designer in Visual Studio (2008)?
Alternately, could I add my own keyboard shortcuts (either through settings or macros)?
It'd really be nice if I could, for example, set a control to dock/undock in its parent container by typing Alt+D. Or if I could set a control's name just by typing Alt+N and typing the name. Things like that.
It's just kind of tedious to click on the item, scroll in the Properties grid to the property I want to change, type the new value, scroll to the next property I want to change, etc. Which is why I have a feeling this functionality is in there already, or is easily configurable, and I just don't know about it.
