Studio Tools: Editor Enhancements

You spend a lot of your time in the editor, so TestMatrix includes a number of editor conveniences to help you out. They've been designed to enhance your productivity by improving the code editor.

Tear off editor windows

This is one of those features that you think would be built in to Visual Studio. Without TestMatrix you can only have multiple documents open by splitting the editor into tag groups. TestMatrix however let's you float multiple, independent editor windows. You can open as many as you like, float them outside of the main interface or a second monitor. You can even dock editor windows into the workspace at any point. To activate, right click in an editor window and select Tear Off Editor from the context menu.

Highlight current word

Pressing Alt+H highlights the word your cursor is on everywhere in the current file. This makes it easy to see all the places a symbol or constant is being used in the file. It's a little convenience with a thousand little uses.
