Resharper 8 - Quickfix shortcut Alt+Enter gone

Question

In Visual Studio 2012/2013, I want to reassign the Alt+Enter ↵ key combination to the "Quickfix" (triggering the menu from the light bulb) because it is not working anymore. I can't. I have tried the following (I am aware that some of the suggestions refer to VS 2010 and older R# versions):

• Tried to change manually in Tools - Options - Keyboard: the former ReSharper_QuickFix entry is gone, see ReSharper_QuickFix gone
• Tried Resharper_AltEnter as suggested in What is the name of the ReSharper's Quick Fix command - nothing, no shortcut
• Switched back and forth settings in ReSharper -> Options -> Keyboard & Menus as described in Resharper Alt Enter not working - nothing
• Switched back and forth settings in ReSharper -> Options -> IntelliSense -> General as also described in Resharper Alt Enter not working to no avail
• Tried other suggestions from the same page
• Sledgehammer approach: run devenv.exe /ResetSettings - nope
• Search SO and the web up and down - found nothing

I have not yet had the nerve to re-install R# or even VS.

How can I get a standard set of R# keyboard shortcuts into Visual Studio? I'd gladly wipe out everything that is there just to get back my Alt+Enter Quickfix..

Solution 1

Please try this:

• remove all mapping for Alt+Enter ↵ shortcut here Tools | Options | Environment | Keyboard (to find out mapped actions, press Alt+Enter ↵ in "Press shortcut keys" field and look at the list in "Shortcut currently used by" dropdown);

After removing:

• Type ReSharper_AltEnter in "Show command containing" field;
• Select "Text Editor" in "Use new shortcut in" dropdown;
• Press Alt+Enter in "Press shortcut keys" field | Assign;
• Select "XAML UI Designer" in "Use new shortcut in" dropdown;
• Press Alt+Enter in "Press shortcut keys" field | Assign;

Solution 2

They changed the name of this shortcut to Resharper_AltEnter.

Solution 3

I had the same problem. I'd upgraded to VS Professional 2013 (update 3) about a week ago. I then installed Resharper and was re-tooling a few projects with Resharper for a few days. All was going well, then things went haywire. I tried all the suggestions in this post and elsewhere. This included un-installing and re-installing resharper. Un-installing and re-installing VS. Nothing seemed to be fixing it

Until at some point I tried what turned out to be the fix: uninstalling a couple of the R# extensions: Resharper.ExternalAnnotations, Nuget Support for Resharper and Resharper Razor Plugin.

Not sure which was causing the issue. But things seem to be working normally now.

I also went further and installed the latest ReSharper 8.2.3 - https://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/download/

Things are still ok [crossing fingers].

I have NOT installed any R# extensions. I will try to figure out which was the offending extension after I have had a few days of rest for this issue. So, in retrospect, it seems this problem started after I installed some offending R# extension.

As stated in the question, I have found and tried this, but it didn't work.

Totally works. Why ReSharper renamed Reshraper_QuickFix (what it is) to Resharper_AltEnter (the default shortcut) is completely beyond my understanding.

Alexander, you made my day!! Thanks a million - it works, for the first time in ages. Apparently, the assigned shortcuts override each other. For the first time, I start to understand how this stuff works.

Worked great! I almost did a re-install before I found this.
