I haven't looked into integrating Powershell with Visual Studio--any one have any hints?

@R. Derickson That is a great shortcut, and it is very useful as well. Thanks for sharing.

Another hand shortcut: CTRL + G to open the Go To Line dialog.

@Bartek Bielawski I forgot about those shortcuts. Thanks for reminding me.

@K_Schulte Yes, the Alt + F + A shortcut is language specific. In fact, there are many of these kinds of shortcuts and they are generally indicated by a underline of a letter in the menu name. I only included this one here, because there is no other shortcut for saveas -- and it is something I need to do all the time, so I taught myself that one. Thanks for pointing out that it is language specific.

I would also add 3 more: ctrl + 1, 2, 3 to switch between different pane arrangements and ctrl +R to show/hide script pane... :)

Hi Ed,

that's really astonishing, how much the ISE can do if you have a closer look at each funtion!

In fact I never did recognize all the details ...

One thing that doesn't work in a localized german version as I'm running is:

The ALT +F +A is related to the english language version only.

We have to press ALT +T +T here.

Two other very useful keyboard shortcuts for the ISE are Ctrl-D, which switches focus to the command line, and Ctrl-I, which swithes focus back to the script pane.
