I’m using VS2012 with TFS2010 (which may or may not matter).
I cannot seem to get any of the keyboard commands that should work with the Pending Changes window to, y’know, work.
I’ve tried the steps listed here, and I’ve tried binding keys to ever “CompareWith” commands listed in the keyboard dialog. The only ones that actually seem to do anything are the File.* commands, but those operate on the open file, and not the Pending Changes window.
I’ve seen that commands like Alt–I (check-in) work, but they don’t appear in the Keyboard settings.
Does the new window in VS2012 have its own set of keyboard settings that are set somewhere else? I’m trying to get to the point of have an keyboard-only workflow for Comparing, the Excluding or Undoing.
Update:
This is really strange. I can actually see the shortcut keys in the right-click dialog, but pressing them does nothing. I then tried changing it to a chord, and I get the error message: “The key combination (Ctrl+Shift+Q, Ctrl+Shift+Q) is bound to command (Tfs.ContextPendingChangesPageExcludeChanges) which is not currently available”
Update 2: I found this blog post, which has some more shortcuts listed, but not that actually do operations on the individual files. For quick reference, here’s his list:

There is a bug with key bindings in some Team Explorer pages in VS 2012 RTM. This has been fixed for the next VS 2012 update.
