Visual Studio - Keyboard Shortcut to close Solution Explorer












1















CtrlAltL Opens Solution Explorer in Visual Sutdio.



But I'm unable to close it with the same keyboard shortcut.



As I need to do this often (to get more real estate on the screen), how do you close the Solution Explorer with a keyboard shortcut?

You can create the following command with Visual Commander (language: C#) and assign a shortcut to close Solution Explorer:



public class C : VisualCommanderExt.ICommand
{
public void Run(EnvDTE80.DTE2 DTE, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package package)
{
var serviceProvider = package as System.IServiceProvider;
var shell = (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsUIShell)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.SVsUIShell));
var SolutionExplorer = new System.Guid(Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.ToolWindowGuids80.SolutionExplorer);
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsWindowFrame frame;
shell.FindToolWindow(0, ref SolutionExplorer, out frame);
frame.Hide();
}
}
