I always press F6 to build my project. Suddenly some of my Visual Studio instances are wanting me to use Ctrl-Shift-B. It's not keyboard related - the actual text of the menu option changes from "F6" to "Ctrl-Shift-B".
Any answers as to how to fix, and what causes this?
Keyboard mapping corruption issue perhaps? Check Tools / Options, Environment / Keyboard. Should see a drop-down for your Keyboard mapping scheme and next to it a Reset button. Hit the reset button.
I'm not responsible for this screwing with your settings - save them prior to doing this just in case you screw the pooch.
Oh, in case the narcs out there care, I think this is a valid question and would be put out if someone voted to close it. Of course now that I've said that, its a certaintity, isn't it?
Your keyboard scheme has changed - go to Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard and set the default keyboard scheme to 'Visual C# 2005'
Its because you installed VMWare. It remaps that key so that F6 can be used to start debugging on a virtual machine.
Annoyed me too.
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
search this command: "ClassViewContextMenus.ClassViewProjectBuild"
Assign F6
