Question

Where is the option in Visual Studio to make the Home key go to the start of the line?

Right now you have to do

Home,Home

or

Home, Ctrl+Left Arrow

i'd prefer that home goes to the start of the line. i saw it before, but now i cannot find it.

Was it helpful?

Solution

In Tools/Customize/Keyboard, Reassign the "Home" key from Edit.LineStart" to "Edit.LineFirstColumn"

Edit by OP: You must change Scope to Text Editor before this will work.

Visual Studio 2010

Visual Studio 2010 removed the "scope" option. Instead you want the "Use new shortcut in" option:

OTHER TIPS

From asking the same question on MSDN forums:

The command you are interested in is Edit.LineFirstColumn. You'll want to change the scope to be the Text Editor. You should remove any existing shortcut key associated with the command first. If you don't change the scope then the Home key won't work. Then try using the Home key. It should work.

Changing the Scope to Text Editor was the missing piece in the puzzle.

  • Go to Tools/Customize/Keyboard
  • Change Scope to "Text Editor".
  • Reassign the "Home" key from Edit.LineStart to Edit.LineFirstColumn
