Is there a command to get the 'hover-over' tooltip text to display without using the mouse?
I want for it to pop-up with a keybind if my cursor is currently over it.
(That white block is my cursor).
I can see you wants this for Visual Studio 2017. I only know the answer for Visual Studio Code, but mybe they share the same shortcut?
So for Visual Studio Code it is: Ctrl+k Ctrl+i.
This will make the hover information popup.
Hope this helps. Cheers!

I'm curious if anyone else has the problem. I am using VS 2017 15.5.7 and when I try to expand or collapse a window inside visual studio it won't recognize it(sometimes). I usually have to try three to four times to expand the solution explorer window.
Has anyone experience this before and if so, how do you fix it?
The solution was fixed after I changed the input from VGA to display port.
I have some old non-working menu giving me COM error in visual studio 2017 right click menu. I want to get rid of this menu. but not sure how to. This is pointing to EditorContextMenus.CodeWindow.LocateinSolutionExplorer command. This command is dead now. How to clean up this menu?
I can't find the "Pin to Source" functionality in Visual Studio 2017, was it removed?
I Googled it and nothing til now.
This option is also missing for me in VS 2017. I am however able to pin variables by hovering over the variable and clicking the pin icon on the far right of the tooltip that pops up. This accomplishes the same thing for now.
I had the same issue with VS2019. I tried importing a backup setting from prior year (Tool > Import and Export), and turns out my old hotkey for this command still works -- even though I still can't see the Pin To Source in the hotkey mapping window. You can try this work around.
I wanted to clear a confusion here.
I changed the application icon for the .exe file using the solution here. When I locate the .exe file in explorer I do see the change in the icon.
However, when I run it on debug mode from Visual Studio 2010, the changed icon does not show up - it shows the generic white box.
So I was just wondering if this is an expected behavior or not? My application will still have the new icon when I generate the .exe file in release build right?
As Hans Passant said in the comment:
It is expected. Google "reset shell icon cache"
I installed NSight for Visual Studio 2012 several days ago. But today there is something wrong with the 'Pause and Capture frame' functionality. Actually, when I click on the icon as showing below I don't have the frame scrubber in visual studio (the page showing the analysis page)!
Here's the steps I follow:
1) Click on 'NSIGHT' menu and 'Start Graphics Debugging'
2) The program is being launched in a window showing the NSIGHT GUI on it. I press the command 'CTRL + Z' and I click on the icon 'Pause and Capture frame' as follow:
Then have the following display:
But on my Visual Studio interface I don't have the 'Frame Scrubber' (the analysis page showing all the information about all the graphics pipeline).
I don't have this page:
I think I have unintentionally modified a propertie which disabled the loading of this page.
Does anyone can help me, please ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
The solution is to click on 'Window' menu and 'Reset Window Layout' as follow:
I hope this post will be helpfull for somebody!
The Nsight Visual Studio Graphics Debugger adds a number of new Toolwindows to Visual Studio. These toolwindows can be accesssed through the Nsight > Windows submenu.
After executing "Pause and Capture a Frame" the graphics debugger is in a paused replay mode. The graphics API state is available in the "API Instpector" toolwindow which can be opened using the command Nsight > Windows > API Inspector.
The API Inspector is a multi-instance toolwindow as are most of the graphics debugger toolwindows. This means that you can open the window multiple times. If you close all instances of the window it will not be re-opened when you "Pause and Capture a Frame". The toolwindow is persisted in the Visual Studio Debug Window Layout and will only be visible in Paused Mode.
For more information see the Nsight Visual Studio Edition User Guide section on the API Inspector
