Thanks User Josh Close – Stack Overflow . for answering the below on Stack Overflow: it got my Resharper Alt-Enter key workign again.
Re-apply Visual Studio keyboard scheme:
(VS2013 latest ReSharper)
ReSharper > Options > Environment > Keyboard & Menus > ReSharper Platform keyboard scheme: Visual Studio > Apply Scheme > Save.
This will reset the shortcut keys for ReSharper.
(older versions)
ReSharper > Options > Environment > General > Visual Studio Integration > Apply

Back in the late 80s and early 90s of last century, engineers Richard E. Berry, Cliff J. Reeves set a standard that still influences the user interfaces and user experience of today: the IBM Common User Access .
I mentioned CUA a few times before, but since an old client of mine managed to throw away their paper originals in a “we don’t need that old stuff any more as we are now all digital” frenzy, I wanted to locate some PDFs. And I promised to write more about CUA .
If anyone has printed versions of the non-PDF documents below, please donate them to aek at bitsavers.org or scanning at archive.org as they are really hard to get.
A few search queries I used:
The PDFs I think are most interesting:

Unlike SourceTree for Windows, SourceTree for Mac still doesn’t automagically detect Beyond Compare even though that has been available for Mac OS X since : [SRCTREE-2092] Add built-in support for Beyond Compare version 4 – Atlassian JIRA .
Even modifying my ~/.gitconfig didn’t work, but manual configuration did. Here are the steps:
Start the UI version of Beyond Compare
Select the Beyond Compare menu, install the command-line tools

IBM/Lenovo stopped producing ThinkPad UltraNav keyboards with 7 rows of keys a while ago. It stopped me from buying ThinkPad machines (together with the screen issues), but I still use the external USB UltraNav keyboards which are harder and harder to get.
So here some SKU/FRU/PN/EAN that seem to have a horizontal enter key and US layout.

The only reliable way to create a remote print-screen is by using the Windows On-Screen Keyboard . It even works with Alt-Prt+Sc to make screenshots of individual Windows.
Just run OSK to start the On-Screen Keyboard.

Too bad the Citrix Receiver remaps the keyboard shortcuts in a way that keyboards without a numeric keypad is a pain.
First of all, it was a bit tough to find the shortcuts, and I have not found a way to modify them.
Here is what I did find:

I wrote quite a few entries about Keyboards and Keyboard Shortcuts .
But Alister Christie did something much better: he published a great video on YouTube: Some windows shortcut key hints.
Most of the examples he shows work in Windows 7 and up.

My response to the comments in Cut and Paste Files & Folders in Mac OS X got a bit took long. So here is it in an article:
Indeed. CUA . The days (:
I’ll write more about CUA in the future (there is some CUA site:wiert.me stuff from the past) as it defines a lot of modern UI and user experience.
In fact the history of Ctrl-C and Command-C goes back until before System 1 (the OS for the first Macintosh) which indeed had the Open Apple Key shortcuts , but didn’t introduce them.
The Command Key was introduced in the Apple III and became more popular in the Apple //e and //c (I own both) where AppleWorks was already using these shortcuts in 1986 .
It is funny to notice that Apple keyboards lost their logo keys but Windows keyboards gained them .
Some Apple keyboard pr0n can be found on Wikipedia .
