    Change Key shortcut in VS

    I need to change a key stroke of CTRL Y to a Redo command (as every other
    program including Microsofts does) in my VS 2008 program.

    When I hid CTRL Y now, it deletes the line I am on.

    As usual, Microsoft doesn't follow standards everyone else does.

    Is there a way in VS 2008 to do this?

    Thanks,

    Tom

      Hi Tom

      Go to Tools Options Environment Keyboard, then search for
      "edit.redo" command and then assign CTRL Y to it.

          That was it.

              Just for reference, it's probably based on the old Wordstar shortcut keys
              used in programmers editors like Emacs. IIRC, they used to be Ctrl+k
              followed by a letter, and Ctrl+k y was delete line. These were the same keys
              used in the old Borland editors, so in a way Microsoft are following
              tradition.

                  Actually, you are probably right.

                  The default seems to be to set the keyboard mapping scheme to VB6. Not
                  quite sure why that would be the case unless there was something on my
                  machine that showed I had used VB6 at one time.

                  Thanks,
