Is there a way to issue a key command to properly format an entire file in VS2008 with CodeRush Express?

When you select Edit->Advanced from menu what keystrokes do you see for Format Document? – Exertion 16/9, 2009 at 22:31

Or if you need to do it automatically, the .NET foundation released their code formatting tool on GitHub: github.com/dotnet/codeformatter – Ursola 4/4, 2017 at 5:19

Use Ctrl+K+Ctrl+D to format document keystroke

Use Ctrl+K+Ctrl+F to format selection keystroke

It's also possible to set your own keystrokes by opening Options... dialog (select Tools->Options from the menu). In Options dialog select Environment->Keyboard form the tree and set your own shortcuts for Edit.FormatDocument.

That is, press "Ctrl+K", release it, and then press "Ctrl+D". – Uphill 16/9, 2009 at 21:57

And on top of that when i use snippets (like pressing tab twice after typing if) i get all screwed up indenting, and osme CR refactorings get that too – Sylvester 16/9, 2009 at 22:28

This looks more like CodeRush problem to me. – Uphill 17/9, 2009 at 1:17

It should be noted that Ctrl+K, D is a VS shortcut, and not a CodeRush command – Chesnut 3/3, 2010 at 5:41

This doesn't work on Visual Studio 2019 for me. Tried both combinations, nothing happened. – Palmer 5/8, 2021 at 21:24

You could always go to Tools -> Options -> Keyboard and give the Edit.FormatDocument a new shortcut.

Update You can also see what the Shortcuts mapped to this command are this way.

It looks like mentioned about Edit.FormatDocment before last edit of my question. I honestly didn't see your answer. But you definitely deserve +1 but being first. – Exertion 16/9, 2009 at 22:30

I was just giving you a hard time, no worries – Grad 16/9, 2009 at 22:38

There is no Options in the Tools menu on VS Community for Mac. – Giraffe 13/11, 2018 at 17:25

Just select all content of page by Ctrl + A then click Ctrl + K and Ctrl + D. The whole page tag format.

For example see this link: Format the content

If Ctrl+E+Ctrl+D or Ctrl+K+Ctrl+D or Ctrl+K+Ctrl+F doesn't work for you, try to set below settings:
Tools->Options -> Text Editor ->C# ->Tabs,
make sure `Keep tabs is selected.
Then, go back to your text editor, re-try formatting.

I was really annoyed before, and steps above works for me. hope it works for you guys..
