Keyboard shortcuts in Mac OSX for Visual Studio

By steenbach

If you’re lucky enough to have an Intel Mac, you will be able to run Visual Studio via Parallels – nice:)

Pretty fast you will discover, that some of the often used characters when coding, are not available right away.
For example curly brackets, square brackets and other shortcuts connected to the ‘Alt Gr’ key.

Fortunately you can use Ctrl + Alt – and you’re ready to go…. almost…

So far, I haven’t been able to use backslash (on my danish keyboard, that involves Alt Gr)
If anyone has found a solution – please leave a comment!

    Hi, I think I know the pain… : )
    Anyway, here it is the shortcut for backslash on a MAC – Shift-Alt-7.
    Could’ve been obvious …

    P.S. Music is one more thing we have in common.

    Peace,

    Hi Pezzo,

    Thanks for the update! – on the mac I’m working on today, I only have Remote Desktop Connection to a Windows server – no Parallels.
    And the Shift-Alt-7 doesn’t work in that environment – hope it does in Parallels.
