I use both eclipse and visual studio (2008 right now) a lot. But there are some shortcut keys from eclipse that I really miss in Visual Studio that I haven't been able to locate. Does anyone know if these exists in Visual Studio?

Being able to search in your open window tabs - this is Ctrl+E in eclipse I think? I know you can navigate, but not search.

open type
open type heirarchy
open resource
move selected lines up or down (Alt+Up/Down)
move to last edited line
(NOT Ctrl+- / Ctrl+Shift+- in VS and not Ctrl+Z, which only works if you're in the same file?)

If they don't exist, anyone got a good resource on how you can program shortcuts yourself for VS?

This may help you for the moving of selected lines: Visual Studio: hotkeys to move line up/down and move through recent changes

Still searching on the others.

There is an "AsEclipse" plugin that should provide most functionality:

I am a first time user of VS. Open Resource and Open Type look to be pretty well covered by Search in Solution Explorer, which is accessed using Ctrl+;

open type heirarchy: Ctrl+E, Ctrl+H
move selected lines up or down: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT

Go to Settings keymaps and search for eclipse. If you install Eclipse Keymap from Alphabot Security plugin in VS Code. It has most of the shortcut from eclipse.
