The new Add reference dialog is absolutely fantastic. I've been writing a lot of demo apps lately, and I've been spending a lot of time adding references. Every time I open the standard Add reference dialog, I have to wait for it to populate. Again and again. And again. And again. Finally got fed up and did a search, and found this. OH ... MY ... GOD. Thank you so much to the people who created this.
Now that I'm starting to look at the other parts of this toolkit, I'm amazed even further. The Scroll Bar "Full Mode"! The Vertical Tabs! The HTML Copy - no longer do I have to copy, paste into Word, copy back out of Word, then paste into OneNote.
I'm sure I'm forgetting other things I like. Bottom line, this toolkit is fantastic. I hope all these features make it into the next version of VS, but if not, I hope you release this toolkit for it. I WON'T GO BACK!!!
The search is cool, but it would be better if I could see number of found results (in case when I search in entire solution I’m not sure if I stepped through all results) Also make it work with “Find Results 1 OR 2” panels, so it displays the found results in there Thx
Hello. Very Usefull extension, but i have some trouble with debugging when extension is enabled. Every debug step F10\F11 verrrry slow. VS hangs for some time (About 1 sec) and after "answers".
ctrl+l doesn't work on multiple selected lines after installing this plugin. ctrl+l DOES work on a single line however if you select multiple lines it will leave behind text artifacts.
typical use case is to select multiple lines of text, BUT NOT the entire start and finish of the first and last line and press ctrl+l. expected result is all content from all selected lines will be cut from the document. actual result is that text that was not fully selected on the first and last line of the multi-line selection is then left behind and another ctrl+l is required to get rid of it.
if the productivity power tools plugin is disabled or uninstalled the default visual studio behavior is restored so this plugin is definitely causing this bug.
Solution navigator does not sort files correctly. Here is a listing of files that are open in the same folder. Using view (show open files)
ViewModel.cs
_ViewContent.cs
_ViewRoutes.cs
I could have sworn that at one point bookmarks and breakpoints were shown in the Enhanced Scroll Bar for javascript (et al) files, but that no longer works.
It works fine in .cs files, though.
Is there a setting or config I'm missing?
Errors are marked in the scroll bar only if we go over that part of code (and stop a bit for the editor to find errors).
Is it possible to see all the errors at once?
When I use "Solution Navigator" to add a new project (MVC3 Web application), the error occurs:
"cannot add the item because the item to add it to is not a solution folder or the solution"
Add new project "Asp.NET Web Application" don't occurs error.
"Solution Explorer" normal use, no errors.
(Sorry, poor English)

Hi,
Is there a way to reconfigure the default key combinations in the Productivity Power Tools?
For example the Ctrl + Alt + ] to action the "Align Assignments" command is conflicting with the normal keys on AZERTY keyboards. It is therefore no longer possible to get the '[' character as long as the "Align Assignments" option is activated.
Thanks
Do you intend to port this wonderful pack to VS 2011? Functionalities like the Solution Navigator, the Quick Find, ... are really useful, they would be sorely missed on vNext.
The regex option for the Find & Replace does not search across lines. In other words if I have a series of lines like this:
Something ABC
XYZ Else
and want to put them on the same line and eliminate some text:
SomethingElse
I expect this regex to do the job:
\sABC\s*XYZ\s
\s should include the \r and \n, even putting those explicitely doesn't work.
I was able to do multiline replace in VS 6 but have not found a reliable way to do so since. I was more hopeful with the new support for less quirky regex. Hopefully y'all can take a look at this. Thanks.
Any plans to address this issue?:

I have the colors set correctly for the code window, but the Find Results window is almost unreadable for the selected line. Would be very helpful if the color could be set the same way it can for the text editor.
