This is quite interesting and a handy tip. You can use it very often during your development when you want to select a complete code block very quickly. Keep you cursor either at the starting or at the ending braces Just press Ctrl + Shift + ] . You will find the complete code block is being selected.
Here is the simple steps
1. Put the cursor at the starting of the block
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + ]
You will find the complete code block between the start and end braces has selected.
Note : If you are using VS 2013 Preview, you can use ALT Key and UP / Down Arrow to move the code block up and down.
- Alt + Up Arrow Key – Move the Code Block / Line Upwards
- Alt + Down Arrow Key – Move the Code Block / Line Downwards
This is often required for code movement or refactoring code, as for example, selecting a block and moving it into a method quickly.
