If you are editing an unsaved file in VS and open another instance of VS the new instance will prompt you to recover the file regardless whether or not the first instance of VS is responding. Ignore currently open files in other VS instances when prompting user to recover files.

The "close" key shouldhave a red background when hovered on it.

I guess that VSX in general missed (or did not promote enough) this simple but powerful and helpful kind of VS extending. That would be great to see in future versions of VSSDK redistributable assembly that exposes the entire base classes (like BaseCodeGeneratorWithSite) needed for Custom Tools - for single file generation as well as for multiple.

Please consider the option to provide such assembly as part of VS SDK.

Also please allow us to include this DLL as part of custom installers we develop.

Thank you in advance!

When in fullscreen mode I want to have the menubar "roll up" like a curtain and only show on mouse over.

Reapply the Mixed Caps for menus, and ALL CAPS for toolbox headers.
The user interface was much clearer the beta way than in RC

Currently when opening a solution that is bound to source control, any projects that are not yet on source control are automatically binded and added to source control.

The new icon take a lot of space, which makes the title bar bigger. I think the size of the icon should be smaller to have more space for the code.
I think it is great to have moved the quick lauch to the title bar which make great use of that empty space and make it possible to hide the menu via extension without impacting the quick launch.

Quick watch window list all properties and fields of the object being debbuged, some objects are huge!

Put some way to order (by name, visibility, type) or an incremental search. That would make the experience much much better!

I would love python style list comprehensions.

int[] start = new []{1,2};
int[] doubled = x*2 for x in list;

This feature is now present in Productivity Power Tools and I think that is very appropriate to optimize working area on 16:9 monitors.

When unit tests are being run, very little feedback is given in Test Explorer. It is very hard to know that something is going on.
The test icon changes only after each test is executed. If the icon of the test reflected its "pending" state, it would be helpful.

I can search on bing if I write "how to use css in html" they will search the bing. show me inside browser on inside ide (this is effective).

Many times in enterprise dvelopment I have seen that , due to higher Licence Cost for Visual Studio Ultimate - projects are moved to java platfform as Eclipse is available for free.

Eclipse choice helps to keep project cost down with a big difference

Please put the menu in the top bar as in the attached screenshot or make it only visible when the ALT key is pressed. As example, please see Firefox 12. It uses minimum height for the menu and the top level menu (file, edit etc.) is only visible when alt is pressed. it is also a setting so, if users want it permanently visible then can check a box.

The VisualStudio Window is completely blocked when a visualizer is open (not unexpected since it is opened by Window.ShowDialog()). Therefore you can't look at any other data or even start other visualizers. If you try to do Window.Show(), the Visualizer opens, but closes immediately.

When I copy a big script on html page you show me a popup who I can't hide. it's not good that I need to wait for 2 min for stop this popup to show progress.

I see them again when I copy next script. I see VS 11 RC is busy in notification.

Is this not time wasting. I have wasted my minutes in popup when I thing older version work fine.

Regards,
