Visual Studio 2005 Keyboard Environment, missing Step Into F11

Posted by scmay on January 29, 2009

I’m not sure if I’m the only one, I recently used another user profile on VS2005, needless to say all the environment settings were reset and I realized that my favourite Step Into button no longer exists, and the keyboard F11 no longer works. Only using Step Over F10 isn’t very favourable.

Anyway, this is what I did.

Tools > Import and Export Settings

Import selected environment settings

Yes, save my current settings

Default Settings > General Development Settings

(Description: Configures the environment to closely match VS .NET 2003 to provide an experience that is already familiar to you. Select this collection of settings if you develop in more than one programming language)

 

Someone else has blogged about the menu settings different for C# and VB, so he adds/changes the C# environment into the menu to get the Step Into button
