Question
I am using GitExtensions version 2.26 Visual Studio extension they comes with. I tried to assign custom keyboard hotkey to commit command like this:
And everything works great until I will restart Visual Studio. After that hotkey gets magically un-assigned. Everything works if I select any other command, not from the GitPlugin.* group. Maybe somebody faced the same problem and found a workaround? Thanks!
Solution
As a workaround, you could grab the pull request added access keys to VS plugin menu items and build your own copy of the extension. After you copy the files from GitExtensions\GitPlugin\bin into Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins, you will get accelerator access keys for the Git menu. This will allow, for example, you to access Commit with Alt+G, C.
