Ctrl+Break on Apple keyboard


I usually use ctrl+break to break the compilation in visual studio, and now my new apple (macbook pro) laptop does not have break key. Is there a shortcut that I can use on an apple laptop?


Solution

  • I don't know if there is a Fn or some other key combo that duplicates a PC Break key, but you can assign any hot key you like to the Build.Cancel command from with Visual Studio. Just go to the Options dialog (available under the Tools drop menu), find the Build.Cancel command and assign a new shortcut for that command.
