Summary

In this chapter, we made the case for more efficient coding practices using keyboard shortcuts. We introduced a handful of everyday shortcuts as a primer for understanding Visual Studio's keyboard mapping schemes. You saw how to search for existing shortcuts and how to assign your own. Next, we pulled back the curtain on precisely how to import and create custom keyboard mapping schemes. Finally, we kept our promise to not bore you with lists of shortcuts to memorize, but rather showed you a handy Visual Studio extension to install that will have you learning those shortcuts in no time.

Your mileage may vary but memorizing some shortcuts could literally save weeks of your life every year. In the next chapter, we are going to broaden our perspective and discuss more general tips and tricks that are useful for developers to know.
