Is there a way to issue a key command to properly format an entire file in VS2008 with CodeRush Express?
Ctrl+K,Ctrl+D
This question with answers has a lot of handy tips.
If Ctrl+E+Ctrl+D or Ctrl+K+Ctrl+D or Ctrl+K+Ctrl+F doesn't work for you, try to set below settings:
Tools->Options -> Text Editor ->C# ->Tabs
,
make sure `Keep tabs is selected.
Then, go back to your text editor, re-try formatting.
I was really annoyed before, and steps above works for me. hope it works for you guys..
You could always go to Tools -> Options -> Keyboard and give the Edit.FormatDocument a new shortcut.
Update You can also see what the Shortcuts mapped to this command are this way.
Just select all content of page by Ctrl + A then click Ctrl + K and Ctrl + D. The whole page tag format.
For example see this link: Format the content
Shortcut in visual studio to format the whole document is Ctrl + E, D
I just use built-in Visual Studio formatting command: Ctrl+A, Alt+F8
