Did you consider calling the post "Visual Studio Tip:  Escape without fear"

:D

I mapped F1 to Help:About a few weeks ago after a failed escape. ;)

Great, F1 is for pussies :)

i have f1 bring up clippy who tells me it looks like i'm writing a singleton pattern and if i would like to use a template.

Simple idea. Good idea. I think of them as N - Minute mistakes: Accidental clicks or keystrokes that are going to subtract N minutes from your effective coding time.

@clanota: heheh...clippy the coder

I work for the last 12 month on a laptop and I got annoyed so much of the fact that the keys are jammed one into the other that I got an external USB keyboard and plugged it in.

Try an external keyboard!

Great tip. More than once I've regretted pressing F1 for help on some highlighted class or keyword and waiting minutes until visualstudio says it has no idea what the item  is.

Yeah, but what are you using Esc for?

Be nice to know so I could use it too instead or besides F1

yeah often i do the similiar mistake when i press escape i accidently press the f1 key. thanks any way....................

Useful tip, I don't like F1 for help.

Thanks!

Every time I accidentally press F1 I start banging my keyboard in frustration over yet another VS hangup. I'm about to kill VS when I realise it could be that made-by-morons help-window again...

I realised I never use the help anymore since it SUCKS SO MUCH! VS 2003 was rather helpful but 2008... Oh my... it's the worst downgrade I've seen. Worse than Vista.

Thanks. Yet another situation where I try Google instead of thinking or even trying to find configuration settings... Simple and saves a lot of time each day developing!

Per the other posts, this is GREAT... drives me nuts waiting minutes for VS 2008 to eventually show the useless help when I hit f1 instead of esc by mistake. Thanks!!

Oh yeah. I spend more time waiting for unwanted F1 help in VS than I do developing software.

Largest improvement to my productivity EVER.

I no longer destory monitors or interns in frustration while waiting for the help screen to take 5-10 minutes to unlock Visual Studio.

Thanks for the post, very helpful :))

I usually use F2 to rename and every misguided touch would create havoc... not any more.

Keep up,

Yay.

Option B. Tear out the F1 key from keyboard.... :P
