Remapping the F5 Key for Debugging VS2010

I use Visual Studio 2010 currently at work. When we switched from MSTest to NUnit I kept getting errors when I hit F5 to run my tests. The desired behavior of F5 changes from time to time in my IDE, so I want to note the steps to change it. I based the steps on an old blog post based on VS2005. The principals remain the same.

• Open Visual Studio.
• Click Tools - Options

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Navigate to Environment - Keyboard
• Keep your mapping scheme the same
• Type Debug.Start in the Show Commands Containing field.
• Remove the current shortcut

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now if you want to remap F5 to another debugging command:

• Type in the command in Show Commands (e.g. ClassViewContextMenus.ClassViewProject.Debug.Startnewinstance)
• Select the context for the override in the Use New Shortcut field
• Click in the Press Shortcut Keys field
• Press your desired shortcut key(s)
• Press Assign
• Review the conflicts in the Currently Used By dropdown
• Press OK
