That is what I was looking for. You need to set the “Use new shortcut in:” to “Text Editor”. Otherwise current TextEditor shortcut will override your global choice, and it won’t work.

I am a big fan of driving R# using the standard shortcut /menu keys.

ie.
run all tests Alt + R + U + N (RUN)
run current test Alt + R + U +

I have a very simple mind so the RUN command works well for me.

Jimmy, thanks for getting the good word out there. I could not breath without my TestDriven.Net shortcuts.

Alt+R — Run test
Shift+Alt+R — Rerun the last test (this one is Really handy)
Alt+D — Debug test
Shift+Alt+D — Debug the last test

The ability to re-run your test makes the Red-Green cycle go by much quicker. Write your test/code. Alt+R (Red). Write code to make your test pass. Shift+Alt+R (Green). No need to go find your test code to re-run the test.

Ctrl-Alt-L. I use my Ctrl-Alt-L + Alt+H (hides tool window) combo all the time.

Wow… How did you get by without this before!!

TD.NET and R# work the same way with contexts:

- In or on a method, run that test
- In between or before/after methods in a class, run tests in that class
- In a class (.CS) file, but outside the class (namespace, etc) it still only runs that test class
- In Solution Explorer, selecting a file and CTRL+T on a file runs tests in that file, folder? that folder, project? that project solution? entire solution.

There’s a shortcut to get the solution exp into focus, but I forget what it is.

As an added benefit, if you are using ReSharper as well as TestDriven.NET installed you can do the same behavior in R# 3.1 or above. Follow the same instructions as here, in the commands containing type ContextRun. You can bind this to Ctrl-Shift-T. This will run only the test where to cursor is, or if the cursor is placed at the class level, it will run all tests for that class. It is currently not possible to bind a shortcut to run ALL tests in ReSharper however.
