How to make a shortcut to run the VSIX method?

see this question.

The initial question was resolved and I have a method in my extension. I want that when the user installs the extension, the keyboard shortcut should be installed and should start the method when clicked.

How to do it?

You can add shortcuts to the .vsct file. This file is created automatically in the wizard when creating a new extension and says that it will have a menu command. To add it manually:

  • Create MyCommands.vsct
  • Set file properties for VSCTCompile
  • Unload the project, right-click and edit the project:

:

<VSCTCompile Include="MyCommands.vsct">
    <ResourceName>Menus.ctmenu</ResourceName>
    <SubType>Designer</SubType>
</VSCTCompile>
  • , :

:

[ProvideMenuResource("Menus.ctmenu",1)]
public sealed class MyPackage : Package
  • :

:

<KeyBindings>
   <KeyBinding guid="yourCmdSet" id="cmdAwesome"
    editor="guidVSStd97"
    key1="VK_F7" mod1="Control Alt"
    key2="VK_F1">
   </KeyBinding>
</KeyBindings>
  • Package.Initialize:

:

// Add our command handlers for menu/shortcut (commands must exist in the .vsct file)
OleMenuCommandService mcs = GetService(typeof(IMenuCommandService)) as OleMenuCommandService;
if (null != mcs)
{
    //// Create the command for the menu item.
    var menuCommandID = new CommandID(GuidList.yourCmdSet,(int)PkgCmdIDList.cmdAwesome);
    var menuItem = new MenuCommand((sender, evt) =>
    {
        // Do stuff
    }
}
