OH Ya Varun! I forgot - smile. OK, I remember using those navigation keys now. They are in the Tutorials but I will add them to the Tipws Document right now. I guess I used them so much at the time I never even thought of them as a tip, just something I did without thinking about it.

using the control+page up/page down keys you can switch between
markup, designer and split view. to switch between code and markup, I
generally prefer control+tab used to move between two recently opened
windows or sometimes I just control-f4 (close) the code window
because, I can easily come to it with f7 (you need to save the changes
if you made some with this, though).

I like outlining (collapsing/expanding) code/markup a lot, therefore
the key sequence ctrl+m+m seems  just too long to me, therefore, I
have defined ctrl+` from the options dialog for this feature.

Hi asp.net'ers,

I have been doing a bit of asp.net coding and I found accessing the smart
tag to be a bit tricky. Some of the methods for doing so described here on 
the list would only work for me some of the time. I found the following
method worked pretty well:
1. Place your cursor on the first letter of the asp.net control tag in the 
HTML editor. For example if the tag for a control is "<asp.net:something"
position your cursor on the "a" after the "<".
2. Select Designer from the View menu. I found that using SHIFT+F7 in this 
instance was not reliable.
3. Press CTRL+. (that's control plus period) and the smart tag menu should 
open.

I have found the designer to be completely useless and have been coding
tables in the HTML editor to accomplish screen formatting. Also, pressing
SHIFT+F7 while in the designer does not seem to always switch to the HTML
editor. The crazy work around I have been doing in this case is to press F7 to go to the code behind editor and then I press SHIFT+F7 twice to go to the 
HTML editor.

Please let me know if you find any better work arounds.

David
