When working in a _ViewImports file, the ENTER key doesn't work at the end of the @addTagHelper *, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers line.

It's worth noting that the ENTER key does work if you first hit the space bar at the end of the line. This seems to take the @addTagHelper line out of read-only mode.

I didn't see this when searching, more info from my dupe here: https://github.com/aspnet/Razor/issues/1045

This is a weird one. The editor basically acts as if the enter key doesn't work immediately following this helper.

VS 2017 Build: 15.0.0+26288.0 Repo: https://github.com/MiniProfiler/dotnet/ File: samples/Samples.AspNetCore/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml

When adding a directive like this (no quotes):

@addTagHelper *, MiniProfiler.AspNetCore.Mvc

If your cursor is at the end of the line right after the c, the enter key just doesn't work. It has no effect, no new line is inserted. The key command goes into a black hole of an uncaring cosmos never to return.

Workarounds

• Add a space, then hit enter
• Use the quoted form: @addTagHelper "*, MiniProfiler.AspNetCore.Mvc"

Apologies if this is a duplicate, I couldn't find anything on it and just came across it today.

Another workaround:

• just click on the next line. I always "exists" even though it's not always visible.

It sure is annoying though.

This is fixed. The fix will be in VS 2017 15.5
