Did you know... How to format the document, the selected text, or just the current line? - #018

Ever been typing in the editor, and for whatever reason, the text isn’t indented properly on the line?  Instead of manually pressing backspace or tab for each line of text, just press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D, which does a Format Document.

For larger files, you might just want to select the region that isn’t justified correctly, and do Ctrl+K, Ctrl+F.  This keyboard shortcut will also format the current line - no selection needed.

These commands are found under the Edit - Advanced menu

Format Document menu items

Hi,

I can't get this to work with external js files in VS.NET 2008 beta 2. Is that a normal behavior, or is it a beta glitch?

Thanks
