Custom keyboard shortcuts
You can add your own keyboard shortcuts through Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard.
I have added the following:
Ctrl+Alt+B (Build.BuildSelection – this builds the “current” project and not the entire solution).
Ctrl+F12 (Tools.AttachtoIIS – this is a Visual Studio plugin, AttachTo which attaches the debugger to the projects IIS website)
Ctrl+Shift+G (Set keyboard shortcut to Edit.NavigateTo)
To customize the next and previous position re-map keyboard shortcuts to View.NavigateBackward and View.NavigateForward respectively. Use Ctrl+(-) (Ctrl and minuskey, navigate to previous position) Ctrl+(+) (Ctrl and pluskey, navigate to next position) for instance.

Visual Studio 2013 really slow when pasting inside ASPX files solved
Whenever I pasted some code in my aspx pages inside Visual Studio got this dialog:
To solve this, I just deleted all the files from this folder:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebSiteCache
Perhaps do a backup first (zip file etc).

Speeding up ASP.NET development environment with a memory ram disk
The basics for these tips are that you are willing to use some of your computer memory to speed things up.
The concept is to use a RAM disk for temporary files storage to speed up the development environment. I am currently using 512 memory on my 8gb Windows 8 pc for the RAM disk.
The tips originates from:
http://blog.lavablast.com/post/2010/12/01/Slash-your-ASPNET-compileload-time.aspx
Step 1. Install Ram disk (free software):
https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/
Run ImDisk Ram Disk Configuration.
Set drive to q: and 512mb RAM disk on my 8 gb memory pc, enable “Launch at Windows Startup”.
Above: here the drive size is set to 512mb. Its changeable, its a “temp” drive. Its non persistant everything gets wiped upon system restart.
Step 2. Set asp net temp folders pointed to RAM disk:
(from http://blog.lavablast.com/post/2010/12/01/Slash-your-ASPNET-compileload-time.aspx)
“To speed up the first load time, you can tell IIS to store its temporary files on your RAM disk (or fastest disk) by changing the following setting in your web.config files:
<compilation tempDirectory="q:\temp\iistemp\"> ... </compilation>
You can either change your project files directly, or, if you’ve lazy and have numerous applications running on your development machine (like I do), update the system-wide web.config files. Note that you need to update this for each runtime version of the Framework and, if running a 64-bit machine, for both Framework and Framework64. On my machine, I needed to modify the following files:
1: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\Web.config
2: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\Web.config
3: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\Web.config
4: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\Web.config
”
Step 3. Chrome cache pointed to RAM disk:
If you use Chrome as development browser this tip helps you point out the custom cache folder and set a size.
https://href.li/?http://jchaois.blogspot.se/2013/11/chrome-cache-location-and-size.html
Shortcut target value (pointed to q: drive and 100mb cache) :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disk-cache-dir="q:\temp\chromecache" --disk-cache-size=104857600
Regedit value:
Change HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command in Windows registry to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disk-cache-dir="q:\temp\chromecache" --disk-cache-size=104857600 -- "%1"
The results
It feels like my computer is “snappier” and faster when surfing in Chrome. But I am not really sure if the time to render first page after build is any faster? It still takes about 1 minute after rebuild of entire solution.
More tweaks
Tell antivirus (for me its just windows defender) to exclude q: folder from scanning. You could also add your base projects folder and Visual Studio folders;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0
C:\Projects
Excluded process:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\w3wp.exe
Create a bat file for starting Visual Studio to enforce Visual Studio temp files to q:

Set ReSharper temp files to use system temp as well:

Not sure if this speeds things up: (just another temp folder used by IIS):
