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.

New to ReSharper? A great tip from a colleague of mine is to try to learn a few keyboard shortcuts everyday.

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).
Solution from here:

Visual Studio 2013 – ASP.NET projects – F7 key not working in – switch between aspx and “codebehind”.
ide – Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 – C# navigation bar drop down menus not working – Stack Overflow
The dropdown menus in the code editor stopped working in Visual Studio 2013 for me.
The problem is a bug when using multiple monitors and a “leftmost” monitor that is not the “main” display…
The solution is quite simple for now: make your leftmost monitor the main monitor.
A bugfix is coming, included in next Visual Studio update.
