Thank you for your tips.

This one had a rather interesting side effect on my computer. The driver for my graphics card (some kinda Intel on-board thing) had the same shortcut linked to "rotate screen 180 degrees". Imagine my surprise :-)

Anyways, keep up the good work!

Alex: lol, that's a good one. I've had similar experiences with keyboard shortcuts doing unexpected things, especially when running Assistive Technology software (like screen readers, screen magnifiers, etc.) but rotating the screen is a new one. =)

My problem with this tip/suggestion/feature is the information displayed is not useful (IMHO). What I mean is the first part of the file path is displayed but then you see ellipses and then the last bit of the filename plus extension are displayed. In our project, that last part is just not long enough to uniquely identify the files I want/need to revisit. Is there a way to lengthen that box?

Thanks.

Good shortcut

While I love the Ctrl+Tab shortcut (I used it a lot in other IDE's, NetBeans is one example) the Ctrl+Alt+Down is another story.

While playing with CompizFusion cube and expo effects in GNOME (yes, in the *L* system) I set the Ctrl+Alt+Down to show all virtual desktops. And here, in Visual Studio it shows all open files. Imagine my joy :)

And thanks for a good tip!

I tried it and received the same results as Alex. The screen goes black for a moment then returns with the page rotated 180 degrees. Upside down!

Знаете ли вы, что… №123: Ctrl+Alt+"Стрелка вниз" открывает меню перемещения между закладками.

В правой части зоны закладок находится перевернутый треугольник, который открывает меню управления закладками
