ReSharper has a whole set of nice keyboard shortcuts, which includes Ctrl + Shift + , for View Recent Edits.
This overwrites the Zoom Out half of the default Visual Studio zoom keyboard shortcuts (thanks Carlos Muñoz):
Ctrl + Shift + . to zoom in and Ctrl + Shift + , to zoom out.
They don’t keep an alternative for Zoom Out, and unlike most tools I know that allow for zooming, there is no keyboard accessible menu entry for Zoom Out in Visual Studio.
So you have to use your mouse to go in the lower left of your editor window in order to Zoom Out (thanks ashteele for putting that in an SO question):

Or you can reconfigure the old shortcut (thanks Aaron Ransley):
through Tools
-> Options
-> Environment
-> Keyboard
and map “View.ZoomIn
” and “View.ZoomOut
“

Ken jij Frans? Ja, die ken ik wel.
Geen idee wat het betekent, maar toch bij de installatie van de HEMA foto-album software op je Mac gedownload vanaf de Nederlandse HEMA site en ook vrolijk een Nederlandstalige link opent dat het gelukt is:
nouvelle version disponible
Le version 3.3 est disponible. Cetter version va maintnenant être installée.
Het vervolg is niet veel beter: zie hieronder.
Exit HEMA App.

I’ve seen this question coming up a few times, and bumped into this at a client recently: the UAC dialog coming up when debugging a 32-bit executable.
This is caused (more details below) by Installer Detection Technology introduced in Windows Vista (with UAC) and tightened in more modern Windows versions.
The solution is to either:
- not include Installer, Patch, Update, Upgrade, Setup, … in your EXE name
- provide a correct manifest to your EXE (getting this right can be hard)
- don’t use x86 as platform target
For software you don’t have source code for, you can alter the manifest with a requestedExecutionLevel element: Fixing the way Vista Auto-detects Installers – Ben’s Writing.
