Indentation shortcuts in Visual Studio

Question

I'm new to Visual Studio 2010 and C#. How can I indent the selected text to left/right by using shortcuts?

In the Delphi IDE the equivalents are Ctrl + Shift + I and Ctrl + Shift + U

Answer 1

Tab and Shift + Tab will do that.

Another cool trick is holding down ALT when you select text, it will allow you to make a square selection. Starting with VS2010, you can start typing and it will replace the contents of your square selection with what you type. Absolutely awesome for changing a bunch of lines at once.

Answer 2

Ctrl - K , Ctrl - D

Will just prettify the entire document. Saves a lot of messing about, compared to delphi.

Make sure to remove all indents by first selecting everything with Ctrl + A then press Shift + Tab repeatedly until everything is aligned to the left. After you do that Ctrl + K , Ctrl + D will work the way you want them to.

You could also do the same but only to a selection of code by highlighting the block of code you want to realign, aligning it to the left side ( Shift + Tab ) and then after making sure you've selected the code you want to realign press Ctrl + K , Ctrl + F or just right click the highlighted code and select "Format Selection".

Answer 3

If you would like nicely auto-formatted code. Try CTRL + A + K + F . While holding down CTRL hit a , then k , then f .

Answer 4

选项卡右键，shift-tab键到左侧。

Answer 5

Visual studio's smart indenting does automatically indenting, but we can select a block or all the code for indentation.

1. Select all the code: Ctrl + a

2. Use either of the two ways to indentation the code:

   • Shift + Tab ,

   • Ctrl + k + f .

Answer 6

您可以使用Tab和Shift+Tab

Answer 7

只需按Tab键将其按下或在菜单栏上编辑 - >高级 - >格式选择，它将自动缩进，键盘快捷键也会显示在菜单中。

Answer 8

If the move-left and move-right shortcuts do not appear on your screen, click at the rightmost position of your toolbar at the top. You should get "Add or Remove Buttons." Add the buttons "decrease line indent" and "increase line indent"

Answer 9

首先选择要编辑的文本（缩进），然后按Tab键查看代码段向右移动。
