ExtendedShortcuts

ExtendedShortcuts is a VisualStudio 2022 extension intended to provide shortcuts to various tasks in the development workflow. Initial functionality is to simply to solve a common pain point for me: building a favorite project via hotkey rather than finding it from the list of projects.

BuildFavoriteProject

Right click a project in your solution hierarchy and click Set as Favorite Project

Once a favorite has been set, you can build it via Build > Build Favorite Project or press the hotkey (CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+B by default). My appologies for the default keybind, but I already use the more sane options. Feel free to rebind ExtendedShortcuts.BuildFavoriteProject to your preference.

If no favorite is set, the command will be disabled

Note that, as of right now, no data is stored between editor instances - if you close the editor, your favorite project will be forgotten.
