30 Favorite Visual Studio Keyboard Shortcuts

It's note to note that these seem to be implemented "ergonomically" rather than just by character.

On US keyboards, the opening bracket [ is easily available, while on e.g. Swedish keymaps you also need to press the Alt Gr key to get [ (it's at Alt Gr + 8).

Still, in Visual Studio the same physical key that is [ on US keyboards works as listed in this article, i.e. Control + å matches brackets. Nice!

I just use the US layout, and when I press Right-Alt it switches to my native language's layout (which I can use efficiently because I can touch-type).

Just embrace English as the lingua franca of programming and you'll be better off.

Heh. I've certainly embraced that, for a good number of years. But that doesn't mean I need to use an English keymap, although I did fight that battle for a great while back on the Amiga, 15+ years ago. :)
