"Right Click" keyboard short cut for Visual Studio?

To open a new file without keyboard you can use CTRL + SHIFT + N (Using Resharper) To show up the right click menu for any part of your code. Point to the part that you want and use SHIFT + F10

Normally, I like using CTRL + SHIFT + G (Resharper again) for getting the Navigation menu (Usage, Base, Implementation, etc)

Even better if you want to go to any Method/class/intenal/or a field, use CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + N (Again using Resharper), this will bring you a list of all that match your criteria to choose from.


Depends on where/why you're right-clicking.

The context-menu key is on the right of the keyboard nowadays, usually between the Windows key and the Control key on the right of your spacebar. That will open the context menu wherever the current focus is (usually in the text editor).

If you're using the right mouse button just to open the refactoring tools, you can use Ctrl + . (control period) to pop open the "smart tag" on any identifier. That'll get you the "generate method stub" menu item and the like.


Taken from lytebyte, you've got two options:

  • Shift + F10
  • That nutty key on the bottom-right of a modern Windows keyboard, the Menu key
