      +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.

      • 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
