Tip of the Day: Remove the most annoying Visual Studio shortcut - F1

Best tip ever.

I hate that ****ing F1 key... I go in a red rage when I accident hit it. Everytime I install VS this is the first thing I'll do.

great tip. F1 in VS takes so long that you've already done a google search, read the document and when you switch back you're still forced to wait for it to finally open the help window just so you can close it.

I love it! Thanks for the tip!

So true! This is the most annoying thing ever. I have never used F1 in my life for anything - Google rules :) Thanks for the tip though.

Good tip. Still, it's a very handy key you can use as a shortcut for something else you need very often. Mine is set to open the Compare form which shows the differences between the currently open file with the latest version in the source control. It saves me a trip to the pending changes add-in (for those of us using TFS), or the solution explorer.

Optimize, Optimize, Optimize: That's a very good idea for mapping the liberated button :) I haven't decided what to use it for, but as we are using TFS as well, I will definitely consider your idea. Thanks!

I'ts such a great feeling, finding such posts as these. I guess I'd check the options dialog if I didn't find it, but just reading "remove the most annoying" I knew I had found it. Maan, such crappy tool, this vs help. I hope they make it scale better to the .net framework soon. And that is soon! Freezing vs to open a seperate application, it's criminal! :D

Thanks a bunch, bratoev
