I have been evaluating Resharper and have heard how great it is. I agree that its code inspection is great, but I have to seriously disagree with the greatness of most other features.
All of the warts it adds to Visual Studio are killing my productivity. It has eaten Visual Studio's shortcut keys even though I told it not to, and even when I remap "Find All References" to Visual Studio, Resharper still coopts it.
We would like to be able to use the Code Inspection functionality and absolutely nothing else. Is this possible through documented or undocumented methods?
If problem only in keyboard shortcuts, you can change Keyboard scheme to Visual Studio. Go to menu Resharper -> Options -> Keyboard and Menus. Check Visual Studio Keyboard scheme at right part of window and apply it.

In Resharper for Visual Studio, often I want to use a refactoring suggestion and I'm not sure whether it is part of Resharper or VS. Sometimes I have to push Ctrl+. to open Resharper's refactorings and then hit escape and then push Alt+Enter to open VS's wrench or light bulb.
Is there a way to combine these into one menu or otherwise see both, of course without losing the VS refactorings?
ReSharper used to be able to merge VS actions into the Alt+Enter menu, but right now as of 2022.3 this functionality is broken (see RSRP-486822).
I suggest you disable "Hide Visual Studio Quick Action icons in the left editor margin" setting in R# options. This was you will be able to see VS actions using Ctrl+., and R# actions using Alt+Enter.
I'm using Android Studio for a long time and I always found annoying the fact that you have to manually move the mouse to click 'Do Refactor' when refactoring. Is there a way to do it by some keyboard shortcut or completely skip this preview window? When I'm refactoring I know what I'm doing and I don't feel like I need a preview in most cases.
I didn't find anything that could answer my question.
I had a similar issue with Android Studio. I couldn't find a way to disable preview, but I did find a keyboard shortcut workaround. Just press Alt+D and it will "do refactor".
I am accustomed to using ESC to "list members" and F1 to "show parameter info" in Visual Studio. This is an old habit from XCode. Is there any way to achieve this in LinqPad? I noticed an advanced preference called "use visual studio shortcut keys". My first thought is that this option would copy your key mapping settings from visual studio into LinqPad, but that does not seem to be how it works.
There's no way to customize keyboard shortcuts in LINQPad right now. The "Use Visual Studio shortcut keys" option (for which the default is TRUE) just tells LINQPad to use shortcuts consistent with VS's defaults.
Setting this option to false makes it consistent with early versions of LINQPad which used single-key combinations for things like comment/uncomment rather than the VS-style chords.
I have Resharper installed and somehow CtrlW no longer "extends the selection". I tried assigning it to Global / Resharper.ExtendSelection in Tools -> Options -> Keyboard but it still only selects one word.
I have found the resolutions. Go to ReSharper -> Options -> Visual Studio Integration -> Keybord Shortcuts --> ReSharper or IntelliJ IDEA.Next time when you press CtrlW, Visual studio will ask you about shortcuts. You will choice ReSharper shortcuts and that is it.
A solution i found was to reconfigure keys at the Text Editor level (they are defined at Global level and for some (annoying) reason Resharper overrides this.
So: (Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard), set Use new shortcut to Text Editor and redefine your shortcuts.
Tip: Look for your CtrlW favorites by writing view. at Show commands containing.
I needed View.ErrorList (CtrlW, CtrlE), View.Output (CtrlW, CtrlO) & View.SolutionExplorer (CtrlW, CtrlS)
HTH
p.s.
I even disabled Resharper and it still won't work...
A question and a suggestion:
Does Resharper | Edit | Extend Selection work?
Reapply VS integration via Resharper | Options | Visual Studio Integration | Apply Scheme
For me the reason was a silly one:
My C# file was removed from the project accidentally, so resharper no longer regarded it as C# code and so there were no syntactical elements to extend the selection to. In other files it worked ok.
In my case (Visual 2019)
go to Tools\Options\Environment\Keyboard
set Apply the following additional keyboard mapping scheme to Resharper (Visual Studio)
I had the silliest reason.
after the resharper installation I didn't apply my license or started the evaluation.
I've become accustomed to using ReSharper, so uninstalling it is not an option.
However 1 little thing that I would like to try fix is the immediate window, I used to get automatic intellisense prompts when for example typing myObject.
That seems to no longer be working (and only in immediate window while debugging) since I installed ReSharper. Any ideas on how to get it back?
Unfortunately, if you're using the ReSharper intellisense (instead of the Visual Studio one), it won't work. I remember reading somewhere that this is a known issue due to a limitation in the Visual Studio extensibility API. This also affects the watch dialog.
The only thing you could do is manually invoke intellisense each time using Ctrl-Space. Perhaps this issue will be solved in Visual Studio 2010.
The problem is ReSharper and there is no current any solution.
And the shortcut for intellisense-pop is Ctrl + Space, (not Ctrl + Alt + Space)
