Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2012

Question

Is there a new version of the Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2012 available? I miss the enhanced scrollbars, the solution navigator and the tabs on the left side (and not on the top) and some other minor features like "Quick Find".

Answer 1

Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2012 were released on Nov 7, 2012 - as announced on The Visual Studio Blog. Aside from 2010 features, there are several new ones:

• Quick Tasks (instantly perform common tasks - uses Quick Launch).
• Power Commands (speeds up how you interact with code)
• Color Printing (now you don't need a separate extension)

Here is a link to the extensions gallery page.

Note: Ctrl+Click works a bit different. New version reduces tab clutter, which would normally occur after aggressive Ctrl+Clicking. VS 2010 would keep all code files open, VS 2012 only keeps the current one, and it's right-aligned (in contrast to other tabs being left-aligned). There is an option to make it permanent, if you need to.
