I currently use ReSharper with VS2010 - I love the fact that there are keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything - however there is one I just cannot find...

If I have the following code block... and I have a red squigly under the area where there is an error

enter image description here

If I move my mouse over the red squigly I get the error popup as follows...

enter image description here

Is there some keyboard shortcut to show this popup dialog with the error message - I would like to avoid using the mouse but still see the error message.

  • You could look at the [following](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3640544/visual-studio-keyboard-shortcut-to-display-intellisense) post on SO [Visual Studio keyboard shortcut to display intellisense](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3640544/visual-studio-keyboard-shortcut-to-display-intellisense) – Pieter Germishuys Apr 25 '12 at 07:09
  • Thanks Pieter... Ctrl + Space is for IntelliSense, what I am looking for is the similar, but the error description, not the intellisense prompt – Mark Pearl Apr 25 '12 at 07:21

    It's CTRL - K and I from the link. – Pieter Germishuys Apr 25 '12 at 07:42
  • @PieterGermishuys Ctrl+K,Ctrl+I is only for method description, not for **error** description. – brgerner Apr 25 '12 at 08:03

You can look at the status bar of Visual Studio when cursor is placed on error. There is the same error message.
Unfortunatly status bar is too small for long error messages. But it's enough for 80% of error messages.

Use Ctrl + \ + e to show the Error List window. You can see the error there without using mouse.
