Improve overview page on marketplace.visualstudio.com/

[DamianFekete]

Hi there,

Thank you very much for these tools. A couple of suggestions if I may:

• Regarding https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JustinClareburtMSFT.HotKeys&ssr=false#overview
  • Describe what Ctrl-Jump Camel Hump Words and Ctrl-Jump Full Words are
  • Make it more obvious that https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JustinClareburtMSFT.HotCommandsforVisualStudio should be installed as well to have the extra features (which would be expected as standard by new users coming to Visual Studio from IntelliJ) for people who won't read everything on the page
• I am not sure why Ctrl-/ doesn't work in .cpp files to comment/uncomment a line. It does work with Hot Commands installed (VS2022 freshly installed, HotKeys-v4.2.5).

Best regards, Andrei

Thanks. Both good tips about making this extension more clear.

CPP is its own beast. Most of the commands are built to work for VB/C#/F#. It's just by luck that anything works for C/C++. I never really considered C/C++ when making any mapping schemes. (Sorry)

But in more detail, the internal VS "Comment" commands are a mess. So I wrote a basic Toggle Comment in HotCommands that just looks to see if there is a "Comment" flag on the internal text and apple UnComment or comment. Maybe you can try mapping the shortcut to the CPP command and see how it goes.

No problem. I am not really a C/C++ developer and I use IntelliJ for almost anything.

I've tried using Visual Studio a couple of times over the years and I am amazed that people put up with it :) I do not find it intuitive and often the errors pretty cryptic. I guess you get used to it after a couple of years of constant (ab)use.

Even the default shortcuts are simply crazy, involving multiple key combinations just to comment/uncomment a line.
