I can’t seem to find a question on this, but it might be because I’m unable to find a good way to search for it…

I recently updated my installation of Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools, and now every time I type @ in a code window, I get a search window of some sort opened instead of the @ symbol in my code. I can’t find the key setting that triggers this, and it’s beginning to be a real problem.

I’m on a Swedish keyboard, so to get @ I press Alt Gr+2. I’ve gone through all the settings under Tools/Options/Keyboard that starts with “View.”, but found nothing.

Can anybody help me delete this keyboard mapping?

Update: I just realized that the key mapping Alt Gr+2 is equivalent to Ctrl+Alt+2. But I still can’t find what it’s mapped to…

    I found the problem in the comment thread on the VS team blog post on the Solution Navigator – it turns out this problem is built-in into the extension, and they’re working on fixing it for the next release. (Basically, they’re binding stuff to Ctrl+2 and 2, but VS also takes the Ctrl+Alt equivalents, which then are interpreted as Alt Gr…)

    For now, disabling Solution Navigator solves the problem (but, obviously, makes Solution Navigator unavailable…), but hopefully there will be a fix out pretty soon.
