Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D also works to format the current file without the select all required.

Questo shortcut è davvero utilissimo: CTRL+K+F premuto all'interno di Visual Studio con attiva una finestra...

Doug,

Hmm, I try CTRL+K, CTRL+D and I get a message in the status bar saying "The key combination (CTRL+K,CTRL+D) is bound to command (Form&at Document) which is not currently available." Wonder why that is? Maybe that doesn't work for C++.

I think this depends on the "keyboard mapping scheme" you selected when you started VS the first time. For me Ctrl + E, D maps to Edit.FormatDocument. Go to Tools - Options - Environment - Keyboard and type in Edit.FormatDocument to see what it maps to.

Ctrl-K, Ctlr-F works on code files (C++, C#, VB), Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D works on document files (HTML, XML, XAML)

Kinda a related question:

For some reason when I do auto-format and then save the file, my asp:Table, asp:TableRow, etc (all the table tags) get smooched smooched together.

So if I had:

<asp:Table>

<asp:TableRow>

<asp:TableCell>Content 1</asp:TableCell>

<asp:TableCell>Content 2</asp:TableCell>

</asp:TableRow>

<asp:TableRow>

<asp:TableCell>Content 3</asp:TableCell>

<asp:TableCell>Content 4</asp:TableCell>

</asp:TableRow>

</asp:Table>

after the format and save, it would look like this:

<asp:Table>

<asp:TableRow>

<asp:TableCell>Content 1</asp:TableCell><asp:TableCell>Content 2</asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow><asp:TableRow>

<asp:TableCell>Content 3</asp:TableCell><asp:TableCell>Content 4</asp:TableCell></asp:TableRow></asp:Table>

Can you think of any reason it does this and maybe a way I could fix it? All tags include the required items (Table tag includes the 'runat="server"', Cells and Rows do not)
