The HTML designer does not accept standard shortcuts, as Ctrl+I for italic, Ctrl+B or bold, Ctrl+U for underlined or Ctrl+L for convert to hyperlink.

Details (expand)

English

Visual Studio 2008 (All Products and Editions)

Windows Vista

English

1. Start Visual Studio and create a new HTML file.
2. Type hello into the HTML designer and select it.
3. Press Ctrl+I.
4. Press Ctrl+U.
5. Press Ctrl+L.
6. Press Ctrl+B.

3. If at begining of the paragraph, increases its left margin, otherwise adds 4 spaces.
4. Nothing.
5. Nothing.
6. Waiting for second key of chord...

Note, occassionaly the Ctrl+L works for me (do not have deterministic repro for this).

And also please note that all of these shortcuts are defined and mapped to the HTML designer.

3. Convert the word or selection to/from italic.
4. Convert the word or selection to/from underlined.
5. Convert the word or selection to hyperlink, or edit it.
6. Convert the word or selection to bold.

I'm having this issue also.... though yesterday everything worked fine... I got back to work today and it started doing this again.

I'll hit ctrl + b, ctrl + L etc... and in the status bar it says " (Ctrl + xxx) was pressed. Waiting for second key of chord..."

I've reset the keyboard shortcuts, and opened up the deven.exe via command prompt. devenv /resetsettings with no success.

I see this was closed as fixed. Is there a resolution?
