Finding a key binding definition in CodeRush

Question

If I deployed a Community plugin and set up a key-binding in CodeRush, how do I now find where I filed it in the options dialog / tree hierarchy ?

Answer 1

Open the CodeRush options screen (Either choose DevExpress \ Options from the menu or hit Ctrl+Shift+Alt+O)

Then locate IDE \ Shortcuts folder in the page hierarchy on the left.

Above the shortcut tree, there is a toolbar containing several buttons which are useful in different circumstances.

In this case the following 2 options may be of some use.

Option 1 - Search

• The 2nd last icon on the toolbar (a magnifying glass) is a search facility which can be used to search for shortcuts.
• You can search by folder, key binding, mouse binding or by command name.

Option 2 - Flatten hierarchy and sort.

• Click third last icon in the toolbar (a folder) to collapse the hierarchy.
• You'll now be viewing the same set of shortcuts in a flat grid rather than in a tree.
• You should now be able to sort by either Shortcut or Command and easily locate the binding you're after.

We recommend placing user created bindings in a custom root folder within the hierarchy so as to easily distinguish between your own shortcuts and those shipped with CodeRush.

This can also ease transferal of these shortcuts to other machines since this will cause said shortcuts to be placed in a file of their own.
