Visual Studio Tip / Trick #005 English Transcription:

Today's VSTrick.com Trick No. 5 is a video repost from Sara Ford, originally published August 1, 2007. Today's tip is moving Tool windows in Visual Studio with the keyboard when a mouse might not be available. So if you are on the Error List and then press [ALT] + [-], you'll see a move menu. I can go down and [Enter]. And now as I move my arrow keys, you'll see that I can select where this window will be dropped. Now the obvious question, if you don't have a mouse is how to select that window. If you press [ALT] + [F6], you can navigate between the panes in your Visual Studio. And once you have one of those panes selected, you can then do [ALT] + [-] and select the move. Also once you are on that pane, you can do a [CTRL] + [PgDn] to navigate between the options. So [CTRL] + [PgDn] and then [PgUp], you can say switch between the output and results, Find Results window. Also the [ALT] + [-] move trick only seems to work if the pane is docked. So if I use my [ALT] + [F6] trick to get to a pane, the Find Results, which is not docked. If I do a [ALT] + [-] here, nothing happens. So you have to be on a pane that is currently docked. Also, just so you know, [ALT] + [SHIFT] + [F6] will go backwards between the panes that you have opened.
