Ctrl+R, Ctrl+R command not working

I was able to fix this by doing the following:

  1. Go to ResharperOptions menu commmand
  2. Select EnvironmentKeyboard & Menus
  3. Select the Visual Studio option under Keyboard Shortcuts
  4. Click Apply Scheme and Save

This will cause Ctrl+R, Ctrl+R to do a rename. (Select ReSharper options in the dialog box that pops up then.)

However, it made F2 no longer able to preform a rename. I was able to fix that by doing the following:

  1. Go to ReSharperOptions menu command
  2. Select EnvironmentGeneral
  3. Select the ReSharper 2.x or IntelliJ IDEA under Restore ReSharper keyboard shortcuts
  4. Click Apply or OK

This allows both F2 and Ctrl+R, Ctrl+R commands to work for renaming a variable.

This seems to be specific to ReSharper being installed with Visual Studio, I don't know what the solution would be to fix this if ReSharper weren't installed.

ReSharper Options Menu


For Resharper 6

You should:

  • Select menu "Resharper" - "Options..."
  • Select "Visual Studio Integration"
  • Choose "Visual Studio" in both places
  • Click "Apply Scheme"

It will either works or you will have a selection to do (Visual Studio or Resharper), if it is so, then choose Resharper.


resharper has multiple default shortcut bindings that is chosen the first time you start visual studio after instalation. My guess is you picked a different one this time.
