This presumably dates back to the fact that in the VS6 days, each language

Aaaaaaah. Now that explains it. Funny... there's always an answer
that makes sense. It's too easy to say "everyone's just stupid." If
you really look, you'll find the real reason.

Still... it's too bad they didn't collaborate and get a key scheme
down. But, they essentially are different companies... MS is 50,000+
people. They don't want dependencies. It's why Excel had their own
compiler. It's understandable... really. And this is what results.
They've attempted to fix the issue with the keyboard schemes. It's
really the best that could happen. Too much collaboration means
dependencies, and we wouldn't even have these products. I get it.


With VS2002/2003/2005 they have had the challenge of bringing all those
disparate IDE layouts and configurations into one place, and have had to
make some compromises along the way. I'm just really happy that I can set my
kepmap up once (including Ctrl+Y for Redo and Shift+Delete for delete line)
and then when I switch between VB and VC++, all the shortcuts stay the same.
Bliss -- and much less of an inconvenience than setting up a one or two
alternative shortcuts once. :)

Yes, that is a godsend! I am impressed with that functionality. You
are talking about saving and loading the same key scheme, right? I
wish I could do that. I'll have to get the professional edition.

Thanks,
