Productivity Power Tools

The very useful keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore (for instance Ctrl+R,R for renaming). Probably, because I tried others tools as well that mixed up the shortcuts. How can I repair them?

I already tried uninstalling and installing de power tools but that doesn't work.

My VS2012 is seemingly randomly crashing a few times each day whilst editing code. It spits out the .NET Runtime error below in the event viewer. I soon discovered that the ColorizedSignatureHelp class is from the ColorizedSignatureHelp.dll from this Extension, so there's a nasty bug in there. 

Anyone know of any workarounds for this one as the crashes are driving me nuts?

Productivity Power Tools is a great addition to VS2010. My only complaint is the mixed tabs and spaces warning never goes away even when I change the settings in the options and click the "Don't show again" button. Is there any way to keep these warnings from popping up? I don't want to fix mixed tabs and I'm getting tired of clicking the "Don't show again" button over and over again.

If the cursor is in the Quick Find tool window (arrow keys can move the cursor left-right), and use CTRL+V to paste, the paste actually mangles code in the Editor, it does not paste in the Quick Find window

The settings from this extension are *not* included in the regular export and import wizard, like it would supposed to be. Other extensions can do it as well. This one can do everything but not that. Copying the registry branch HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\DialogPage may contain some of the information, but at least not the most important: Which features of this all-in-one extension are enabled or disabled. Where is that setting stored, so I can at least copy it myself?

Hi,

I consistently get an exception on the first mouse-over (even with all tools disabled):

I am on Win-8-64. Any ideas?

Thanks,

I'm using VS2012 (C#) and when I type open brace nothing happens. What's wrong?

Please improve the performance of the solution navigator. It's too slow to use with large solutions (in my case, 40 projects). The scrolling is so slow that I often use the solution explorer in addition to the navigator, because it's much faster.

I have a fast machine (Intel Core i7 2600k, 16 GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6950 with 2 GB, OCZ Vertex 3), but it's way too slow to completely replace the solution explorer.

This is still a problem on 3/8/2013.  too bad. I really like it.  But have turned it because it slows me down, in large projects.

Great extension; very handy.

It would be even better if there were TWO color selectors for Find Results in the Enhanced Scroll Bar options:
-Find results color in the scroll bar
-Find results color in the editor

One the most useful aspects of RockScroll/MetalScroll was the ability to see all instances of a given string in a file at a glance. The existing Caret location highlighting (in scroll bar + editor) is a step in the right direction, but having the same options for Find results would be even better.

Thanks!

First of all PLEASE integrate it with Format Document.
Otherwise is uselless as each command cancel the other.

Second of all enable it for javascript files as well!
