    +1 I switch between light and dark themes in other apps depending on my surrounding lighting all the time on my laptop.

    I would like a shortcut to toggle between Light and Dark.

    Mike, Noah Richards wrote a VS Gallery extension for markdown support already: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/0855e23e-4c4c-4c82-8b39-24ab5c5a7f79

    He provided it as open source as well, so if it doesn't exactly meet your needs you could help improve it.

    I do not know if it works in the VS 11 Beta.

  3. CTRL+W should close the current tab as a default key bind

    Hi Supporters of this item,

    We are considering making this available as an option in a future release of Visual Studio.

    If this is made available, we expect the feature to need to be optional as there are many who prefer the current keybinding of Ctrl+W to stay as it is.

    Thanks
    Mark Wilson-Thomas
    Program Manager, Visual Studio IDE Team

    Hells yes! I make this change first thing every time I have a new install of VS.
