Ctrl + R not working for running the program in Visual Studio

Question

I have this program all of a sudden. I was coding fine in visual studio and i guess i pressed a combination which changed a setting. I always used ctrl + r to run the program, as soon as im ready to test something i press ctrl + r and the program ran. But for pass few hours when i press ctrl + r it shows :

ctrl + r was pressed. waiting for second key of cord.

I tried to reset all keyboard shortcut and had no luck. Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue please its really annoying.

And oh im programming in c++ and used visual studio for quite a few months and it worked perfectly in visual studio 2017 without any issues until now.

Answer 1

Never heard of using CTRL + R to run a program in Visual Studio.

Use F5 to run with debugger or CTRL + F5 to run without debugger attached.
