Visual Studio Tip / Trick #032 English Transcription:
Today’s Visual Studio Trick of the day is trick no. 32, originally
blogged by Sara Ford on September 7th 2007. Today’s trick is selecting
the current word. So [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[W] will select whatever word your
cursor is currently on. And if your cursor is in the middle of some
white space, [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[W] will select that as well. Also
confirms that this also works in Visual Studio 2005 as well.
[CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[W]
