Visual-studio – Visual Studio 2005 Annoyances

visual-studio-2005

There are a couple of things I find really annoying about Visual Studio. Admittedly, I have a old version so these might be fixed in later versions. I'm writing c++ stuff. Anyway here they are:

1) Is there anyway to clear all breakpoints? If I leave breakpoints set, they seem to multiply and get attached to adjacent lines as I add more code. I then have to go in and clear them out one-by-one.

2) Is there anyway to make the text find work better? If I want to find the next occurrence, I have to either do a ctrl F or an EDIT FIND followed by clicking FIND NEXT in the search box. Is there some shortcut key for FIND NEXT?

TIA, Mike

I haven't used VS2005 but I remember the functionality was the same here as in VS2008. Hope this helps. 1) To clear all break points you can do Ctrl Shift F9, or select it from the debug menu. 2) If you do Control F to find and then you can hit F3 to do Find Next.
