Invert Selection

Purpose

Inverts the code elements. The supported inversions are listed below:

  • Boolean literal (true → false)
  • Equality operator (== → !=)
  • Addition/substraction assignment (a += b → a -= b)
  • Assignment (a = b → b = a)
  • For-loop direction [for (int i = 0; i <= a.Length; i++) → for (int i = a.Length; i > 0; i–)]

Availability

Available when the selection includes one or more supported code elements.

Usage

  1. Select one or more supported code elements.
  2. Press the Ctrl + . or Ctrl + ~ shortcut to invoke the Code Actions menu.
  3. Select Invert Selection from the menu.

Refact_InvertSel

After execution, the Code Provider inverts all supported code elements in the selection as shown in the Purpose section.
