@David.adsit: Hey dude, yes I’m familiar with those shortcuts to navigate (ctrl+t, ctrl+shift+t) but I do forget about them all too often! Great tip for bypassing the need to navigate via Solutions Explorer nonetheless. Thanks. Yep I’m a big user of CTRL+B, CTR+SHIFT+B etc and probably some of the toolbars at the top could go if I consciously had a look through them, you’re right. Thanks for the tips and should help everyone.

I love this setting (although i think solution explorer is just noise). I’m pairing though, and it’s really difficult to clone two monitors either remotely or locally.

so, I noticed that you are running r#, but you talk about finding files in the tree. are you not familiar with the full feature set of your addon? try out ctrl+n, ctrl+shift+n (or ctrl+t, ctrl+shift+t) for navigating directly to types and files.

also, for someone obviously concerned about desktop realestate, you seem to be wasting an awful lot of it on toolbars and those navigation drop-downs at the top of your code window. try turning those off and learning to navigate using the power of your tools (ctrl+F12, ctrl+b, ctrl+shift+b, ctrl+-, etc)

for any toolbar items that you really can’t live without (active build configuration for me) you can just customize the menubar and drop them there. don’t forget that you can also make your own hotkeys in VS200X, so you might as well do that for things you need all the time.

Anyway, I think you have a great start toward a usable IDE there. Keep at it!

“My environment is that of a 3360 x 2100 resolution setup (across two monitors spanning 1680 x 1050 a piece)”

That must be 3360 x 1050, or are you running quad monitors?

I am so looking forward for proper multi monitor support in VS, let me have multiple files open in different windows! I want draggable tabs like Chrome.

Isn’t it 3360×1050?
