Question

I have just started using TFS and have some questions about hotkeys. It is really uncomfortable to select projects, solutions and files in Solution Explorer.

I want to assign hotkeys to just 2 operations:

• Solution-wide checkin
• Solution-wide get latest version

But I cant find these in the list of available operations in Visual Studio Keyboard Settings. Can someone help me with the names of operations if they are available?

If you can’t live with selecting the solution node in the solution explorer and use a hotkey for File.TfsCheckIn, I guess that your only options is to use a macro like this and assign a hotkey for that:

Sub CheckInSolution()
    DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindSolutionExplorer).Activate()

    Dim fi As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(DTE.Solution.FullName)
    Dim name As String = fi.Name.Substring(0, fi.Name.Length - fi.Extension.Length)

    DTE.ActiveWindow.Object.GetItem(name).Select(vsUISelectionType.vsUISelectionTypeSelect)
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("ClassViewContextMenus.ClassViewProject.TfsContextCheckIn")
End Sub
