If you use Visual Assist, you are probably familiar with its Quick Refactoring Menu\u2014available via a hovering icon or the default shortcut (Shift+Alt+Q). But, you might\u00a0not appreciate how frequently\u00a0the\u00a0menu is available. Quick Action<\/strong> Menu is\u00a0a\u00a0more apt name.<\/p>\n

Availability aside,\u00a0the Quick Refactoring Menu is an efficient method of tapping into the features of Visual Assist because the menu\u00a0contains\u00a0only pertinent actions; it’s always concise. (If you examine\u00a0the “Refactor (VA)” submenu of the editor’s context menu, you will find all possible actions. The entries\u00a0enabled in any one scenario are the ones in the Quick Refactoring Menu.)<\/p>\n

Available actions in the Quick Refactoring Menu\u00a0depend on what Visual Assist thinks you might do and where you are: in whitespace, in a symbol, or with\u00a0a selection.<\/p>\n
