Menees VS Tools adds several new commands to process selected text, add new text, and work with open files. It started life in 2001 as an add-in for Visual C++ 6, and it has been rewritten a couple of times since for various versions of Visual Studio. Commands include:

  • Sort Lines
  • Sort Members
  • Trim
  • Statistics
  • Execute Text
  • Execute File
  • Stream Text
  • Generate GUID
  • Toggle Files
  • Toggle Read-Only
  • Add Region
  • Collapse All Regions
  • Expand All Regions
  • Check Spelling (requires Microsoft Word)
  • Base Converter (Tool Window)
  • Add TODO Comment

Other optional features:

  • Disable Ctrl+MouseWheel zoom in text windows
  • Highlight trailing whitespace
  • Highlight excess line length (based on a configurable length)
  • Highlight invalid leading whitespace (e.g., tabs instead of spaces or vice versa)
  • Highlight configurable patterns in Output windows by content type (e.g., Output, BuildOrderOutput, BuildOutput, ConsoleOutput, DatabaseOutput, DebugOutput, SourceControlOutput, TestsOutput, and TFSourceControlOutput).
  • Highlight Find Results file names, matches, and details.
  • Enhanced Tasks tool window that reports "TODO" tasks in any open file or any file referenced in the current solution.
  • Commented #region support for XML, HTML, XAML, SQL, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
