SUMMARY
Visual Studio .NET commands allow direct interaction with the integrated development environment (IDE) from the keyboard. Dialog boxes, windows, and other items in the IDE have a command equivalent that you can type into the command window or the Find/Command box to display and, in some cases, run the command in question.

The set of available commands includes all commands listed in the Options dialog box on the Environment tab in the Keyboard pane, as well as user-defined aliases and macros.

In the French, German, Spanish, and Italian versions of the Visual Studio .NET IDE, command names are available in the native language of the IDE or in English. For example, in the French IDE, you can type either File.NewFile or Fichier.NouveauFicher to run the same command. Command names are similar to macro names in this respect. Although you can create macros by using a custom command name, it is best to use English command names for better compatibility between English and non-English versions of Visual Studio .NET. This is because the French, German, Spanish, and Italian versions of the IDE process English commands, but not vice versa. For this reason, you will probably use the English command names more often than localized command names.
