bookmark navigation problem
Hi -- I'm running Visual Studio 2008 v9.0 I'm having difficulty getting the bookmark keyboard shortcuts to work as documented. I did this:
1. bookmarked a few lines of code (begin and end of a subroutine)
2. Hit Ctrl+K, Ctrl+N to try to go to the next bookmark. However, the New File dialog popped up instead. I cancelled it.
3. Hit Ctrl+K, Ctrl+P to try to go to the previous bookmark. However, the Print dialog popped up instead!
I must be doing something wrong here. What should I do so that the bookmark shortcuts work as advertised?
Re: bookmark navigation problem
If you just press the menu items you will see the shortcut required for that item. You can setup the keyboard for VB6 layout, C#, Web and general development. Likely you are using a different setup to the one your book describes! To add, when you use a chord (which is the name of a two stage shortcut), you can see at the bottom status car something like
(Ctrl + K) was pressed. Waiting for second key of chord ....

hmmm. I do not see that message in the status bar. FWIW my keyboard layout is set to Visual Basic 6 and the shortcut for Edit.Nextbookmark is set to Ctrl+K, Ctrl+N (Global) in Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard
Re: bookmark navigation problem
I found that Ctrl+k had been assigned to some other function (text editor?) so I removed it and the chorded sequence works as wanted.
Thanks!
