What are your most-recommended Visual Studio preferences?

Question

There are so many little options and settings within Microsoft Visual Studio. Which adjustments do you recommend to others?

Answer 1

Several have mentioned custom keybindings. Here are handy default keybinding reference posters…

Microsoft Visual Basic Default Keybindings reference poster

A high quality, print-ready PDF containing the useful keybindings for developers that choose the Visual Basic developer profile in Visual Studio 2008 or use Visual Basic Express.

Microsoft Visual C# Default Keybindings reference poster

Visual C# in Visual Studio 2008 and Visual C# 2008 Express Edition Wall chart showing useful keyboard shortcuts for Visual C# programming language.

I like Microsoft's instructions:

1. Download and extract PDF
2. Send to favorite full color printer/copier
3. Hang on wall
4. Code
5. Smile
