These are my personal notes on setting up Visual Studio.

\n

These are not best practices — just the settings I personally use most often.

\n

The version being installed is Visual Studio 2022.

Installing Components

\n

After launching the Visual Studio Community installer, install the following components.

\n

I generally always add the following workloads:

\n

\n

Under [Individual components], type 64 latest in the search box and check the following items:

\n

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

\n

I also often add the LLVM and Clang compilers.

Font Settings

\n

After Visual Studio is installed, go to Options and change the text editor font and size.

\n

I almost always use Consolas.

Keymap Settings

\n

Next, configure the Visual Studio keymap.

\n

I always set the base keymap to the Visual Studio Code scheme.

\n

\n

I also remap the [Find All References] shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+F.

\n

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

\n

I also change the bookmark shortcut assignments.

\n

The name is a bit confusing, but using the [Clear Bookmark] shortcut allows you to both assign and remove a specific bookmark with the same key.

Changing the Default Project Creation Folder

\n

Visual Studio creates projects in %USERPROFILE%\\source\\repos by default, which is somewhat inconvenient, so I change it to something like %USERPROFILE%\\Documents\\Codes.

\n

You can change this from [Projects and Solutions] > [Locations].

\n

Changing the Default Repository Clone Folder

\n

Similar to the project creation folder, I also change the default folder path used when cloning with git from the following settings location.

\n

Sticky Scroll Settings

\n

From the text editor settings, enable the current scope grouping setting and activate the sticky scroll feature in the Visual Studio editor.

How to Fix the GitHub Account Used When Cloning a Repository

\n

When you are signed into Visual Studio with multiple accounts, it can be annoying to see a dialog asking which GitHub account to use every time you push, etc.

\n

To fix this, embed the GitHub account username in the Clone URL like https://username@github.com/owner/repo.git.

\n

This fixes the GitHub account used when working with that repository.

\n

How to Change the Default File Encoding

\n

In a Japanese locale, files can accidentally be opened using Shift-JIS, which is very inconvenient. To prevent this, go to [Environment] > [Documents] and specify an encoding such as UTF-8 for saving files.

Summary

\n

Just personal notes.

\n

I plan to update the content in the future.
