Sorry this is a really stupid question:
I'm recording a video of something I'm working on in visual studio and I was wondering if there are any 'safe' (by default not used) hotkeys to use for recording start / stop.
I've always used f10, but that's build/run for VisualStudio.
Alternatively... is it simpler / advisable to just change the VS hotkey or disable it all together? (I don't mind clicking the little button).
Is there any 'professional' philosophy or best practices when it comes to hotkey conflicts?
Thanks.
You can view/search/rebind Visual Studio hotkeys in menu:Tools - Options - Environment - Keyboard.
If you want a hotkey that is definitely not being listened to by any software, on Windows any keyboard buttons (such as less-commonly-used Right Alt, Scroll Lock, media buttons on some keyboards, etc.) can be rebound to F13..F24 using registry or software (such as SharpKeys)
