My place of employment has a Volume Licence and Software Assurance - basically, we have access to pretty much any software product Microsoft releases. However, I have been spamming the F5 key for the last few days looking for the volume licence copy of Visual Studio Enterprise 2017. We have copies of VS Enterprise 2013 and 2015k, but no 2017 version. The Volume Licensing centre states that the Visual Studio subscription site is moving to another site, however we have not received any emails advising that we have been migrated yet, and there don't appear to be any licences there either. Has anyone else been able to snag a copy from the VLSC, or are we simply not covered for upgrades to Visual Studio?
You are on a Mac machine and the keyboard is a bit different than a PC machine. Visual Studio is a PC application that you run on a virtual machine in Parallel Desktops. Some shortcuts that you are so used to in Windows might not work as expected, and this you have already discovered.
Hi I am trying to setup Visual Studio 2017 with my TFS server and I cannot figure out how to. I see the 'Version Control' menu and I try doing 'Check out' and entering the url of my TFS server on port 443 but it then asks for a username/password, but the only credentials I have are Microsoft Accounts that have access to the TFS server. How do I use visual studio debugging shortcuts on a Mac? Ask Question 0. Do you think you're using Visual Studio on Mac OS X (which doesn't work), or are you just trying to use the same shortcut keys used in VS on another application (on a Mac)? Pressing a key combination in the From column while working in a Windows program triggers.
You can however customize keyboard shortcuts in Parallel Desktop, in order to achieve similar results. To Customize Keyboard Shortcuts:. Do one of the following:. Option-click (Alt-click) the Parallels icon in the menu bar and choose Preferences.
If the Parallels Desktop menu bar is visible at the top of the screen, choose Parallels Desktop Preferences. Click Keyboard. If necessary, click the lock icon and enter an administrator password.
PD6Configuring Keyboard Preferences. Pressing a key combination in the From column while working in a Windows program triggers the key combination in the To column. Do one of the following:. To edit an existing key combination, double-click the key combination. Click modifier keys to select or deselect them. If you wish, change the character in the text field.
PD6Remapping Keyboard. To delete a key combination, select it and click the Remove button CEButtonDelete.
To add a new key combination, click the Add button PlusButton. To disable a key combination without deleting it, click the checkbox next to the key combination to deselect it.
If you're using multiple operating systems with Parallels Desktop, you can create keyboard profiles for each OS. Some key combinations can't be edited or deleted.
For anyone using VMware, the same thing can be accomplished by:. From the Menu bar - VMware Fusion Preferences. Keyboard & Mouse. Select the Mac Host Shortcuts. Uncheck the Mac OS host Keyboard Shortcuts This is better (in IMHO) because it does not send Mac shortcuts to the VM.
I have Windows 10 Pro / VS 2015 installed on my VM for when I work at home. It keeps the keyboard command separate between the two. I'm in PC mode - PC commands. I'm in Mac mode - Mac commands.
