VS IDE shortcuts

This popped out with about a hundred other MSDN rss items: MSDN TV on IDE shortcuts.

I learned a couple new things.

1. You can set up your own comment task tokens. I had been using TODO and HACK pretty regularly, and started adding my own REFACTOR and DEP (deprecated). Now they're auto-added to tasks just like the defaults, sweet.

2. Ctrl + - (hyphen) navigates back through the history of code locations you've been. Shift+Ctrl-hyphen navigates forward. I discovered that my intellimouse buttons approximate this behavior a while ago, never caught the keyboard shortcut.

Other things covered that are nice but weren't news to me personally, Ctrl+I (incremental search), Shift+Ctrl+V (clipboard ring).

Multimonitor support was mentioned, I don't really know what the extent of this is, UltraMon pretty much does what I need it to. I'd love more docking control for debug/secondary windows/palletes on the second monitor, but I can live with what I've got.

Good stuff though, reminds me I need to clean up my Visual Assist templates sometime soon.
