Access dropdown list in package manager console


I'm trying to reduce my mouse usage in Visual Studio. Until now I haven't been able to access the drop down lists in the "Package Manager Console" - see the attached picture.

The letter "k" in "Paketquelle" is underlined, but pressing Alt+K or any combos of Tab+Modifier key will not focus the drop-down lists. Based on this post I tried Ctrl+F2 for no good. Any ideas?

PS: Unfortunately I have to use the localized german version, but this should not be a problem.


Solution

  • Wow, I feel retarded now. A simple Shift+Alt+K did the trick. You can then cycle the bar with Tabulator, putting the focus back on the console by pressing Esc.
