How to: Assign a Keyboard Shortcut to a Refactoring

• Sep 08, 2020

CodeRush supports the ExecuteRefactoring command that runs a specific refactoring without invoking the Code Actions menu.

Follow the steps below to bind the "Ctrl+Shift+3" shortcut to the ExecuteRefactoring command:

• Choose CodeRush | Shortcuts... from Visual Studio's menu to open the Shortcuts configuration page.

  

• Click New Shortcut to create a new shortcut.

  

• Specify the "Ctrl+Shift+3" shortcut in the "First shortcut" text box, and another shortcut in the "Second shortcut" text box (optional).

  

• Choose ExecuteRefactoring from the "Command" combo box.

  

• Type the name of a refactoring in the "Parameters" text box. In this example, the Extract String to Resource refactoring.

  

  You can find names of supported refactorings on the Editor | Language | Code Actions | Code Actions Catalog options page.

  

• Click OK to apply the changes and close the Shortcuts options page.

• Open the code editor and press the shortcuts key ("Ctrl+Shift+3" in this example) to run the ExecuteRefactoring command.
