Visual Studio Tip / Trick #020 English Transcription:

Today’s Visual studio trick number 20 was originally published in text by Sara Ford in august of 2007. The trick is new lines. Your cursor is in a middle of a line and you would like to press [END] then [ENTER] you can actually do that with a key board short cut of [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[ENTER] which will move a new line to the bottom or underneath where you currently are and [CTRL]+[ENTER] will put a new line above. So this is particularly helpful if you are in middle of a thought process [CTRL]+[ENTER] will move your cursor up one line and then [CTRL]+[SHIFT],[ENTER] will move you down to next line. Saves a little bit of keystroke better than [HOME],[ENTER] or [END],[ENTER] to effectively accomplishing the same thing.
