Ctrl-W stopped working

Question

I have Resharper installed and somehow CtrlW no longer "extends the selection". I tried assigning it to Global / Resharper.ExtendSelection in Tools -> Options -> Keyboard but it still only selects one word.

I have found the resolutions. Go to ReSharper -> Options -> Visual Studio Integration -> Keybord Shortcuts --> ReSharper or IntelliJ IDEA.Next time when you press CtrlW, Visual studio will ask you about shortcuts. You will choice ReSharper shortcuts and that is it.

A solution i found was to reconfigure keys at the Text Editor level (they are defined at Global level and for some (annoying) reason Resharper overrides this.

So: (Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard), set Use new shortcut to Text Editor and redefine your shortcuts.

Tip: Look for your CtrlW favorites by writing view. at Show commands containing. I needed View.ErrorList (CtrlW, CtrlE), View.Output (CtrlW, CtrlO) & View.SolutionExplorer (CtrlW, CtrlS)

HTH

p.s. I even disabled Resharper and it still won't work...

I was actually trying to figure out the opposite. Ctrl-w stopped closing the current document... I overrode it at the global level, but resharper had stolen it in "Text Editor". This has been driving me nuts for *weeks*. Thank you! – superlime Apr 29 '12 at 07:02

ReSharper.Resharper_ExtendSelection and ReSharper.Resharper_ShrinkSelection are the command that worked for me – Vdex Sep 23 '14 at 13:25

A question and a suggestion:

Does Resharper | Edit | Extend Selection work?
Reapply VS integration via Resharper | Options | Visual Studio Integration | Apply Scheme

Interesting... Extend Selection is disabled! – JoelFan Feb 18 '11 at 14:47

Possibly it's your source file doesn't support Extend Selection? I believe HTML and javascript don't support it. Is it available in a C#/VB file? – Kevin Feb 18 '11 at 15:12
This worked for me. Extend Selection work is now CTRL + Alt + Left or Right Arrow keys in 2017.3.2 – Sanket Sonavane Feb 15 '18 at 05:53

For me the reason was a silly one:

My C# file was removed from the project accidentally, so resharper no longer regarded it as C# code and so there were no syntactical elements to extend the selection to. In other files it worked ok.

In my case (Visual 2019)

go to Tools\Options\Environment\Keyboard
set Apply the following additional keyboard mapping scheme to Resharper (Visual Studio)

I had the silliest reason. after the resharper installation I didn't apply my license or started the evaluation.
