Visual Studio Format entire file?

Question

Is there a way to issue a key command to properly format an entire file in VS2008 with CodeRush Express?

Answer 1

Use Ctrl+K+Ctrl+D to format document keystroke

Use Ctrl+K+Ctrl+F to format selection keystroke

It's also possible to set your own keystrokes by opening Options... dialog (select Tools->Options from the menu). In Options dialog select Environment->Keyboard form the tree and set your own shortcuts for Edit.FormatDocument.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Ctrl+K,Ctrl+D

This question with answers has a lot of handy tips.

Answer 4

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.
