tabs in Visual Studio 2005

Comments (9) | Share

Does anyone know how to hotkey switch tabs in Visual Studio 2005. My fingers are trained for Alt-Tab, but obviously that doesn't work. Is there a similar combination for tabs inside VS2005? (I do the same thing in FireFox too...) Posted on Thursday, November 9, 2006 10:07 AM | Back to top

I have a question about a different kind of tabs....the tabs in the text editor. Right now when I hit tab it adds 4 spaces. I would rather it act like the old Visual Interdev and add an actual tab character in there. Anyone know how to do that?

Greg - I too was miffed by this behaviour. Go to tools, options, text editor, tabs and select "keep tabs". you might have to tick the "show all options" box in the options dialog.

Enjoy
