Visual Studio : Is there a way to Perform a "Find in files" with one single shortcut?

I want to select an expression in code and type Ctrl+Wh开发者_如何学运维atever

so it has the same result as [ Ctrl+Shift+F AND Clicking on "Find All" ]

EDIT : [Ctrl+Shift+F AND Hitting Enter] may be quicker than clicking but I still want something more specific and faster

Remark : I am NOT interested the Find All References shortcut.

You could use a macro. I recorded and modified one in VS2010:

Sub FindAllFiles()
    DTE.Find.FindWhat = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.ToString()
    DTE.Find.Target = vsFindTarget.vsFindTargetFiles
    DTE.Find.MatchCase = False
    DTE.Find.MatchWholeWord = False
    DTE.Find.MatchInHiddenText = True
    DTE.Find.PatternSyntax = vsFindPatternSyntax.vsFindPatternSyntaxLiteral
    DTE.Find.SearchPath = "Entire Solution"
    DTE.Find.SearchSubfolders = True
    DTE.Find.FilesOfType = ""
    DTE.Find.ResultsLocation = vsFindResultsLocation.vsFindResults1
    DTE.Find.Action = vsFindAction.vsFindActionFindAll
    If (DTE.Find.Execute() = vsFindResult.vsFindResultNotFound) Then
        Throw New System.Exception("vsFindResultNotFound")
    End If
End Sub

The macro can be set to a keyboard shortcut. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a0003t62(v=vs.80).aspx

Not that I would be aware of it. Ctrl+Shift+F + ENTER (ENTER instead of Clicking on "Find All") is probably the closest it comes. And if you are a touch typist it is as fast as a single shortcut.

Update

Now, that the question has changed my answer makes no sense anymore. Go with a macro like Fosco answered it.

I have a similar macro in use like @Fosco.

' Members for the search methods
Private matchCase As Boolean = True
Private searchWindowOne As Boolean = False

Public Sub SearchFiles(ByVal fileTypes As String, ByVal searchPath As String)
    searchWindowOne = Not searchWindowOne
    DTE.Find.Target = vsFindTarget.vsFindTargetFiles
    DTE.Find.MatchCase = matchCase
    DTE.Find.MatchWholeWord = matchWholeWord
    matchCase = True
    matchWholeWord = True
    DTE.Find.MatchInHiddenText = True
    DTE.Find.Action = vsFindAction.vsFindActionFindAll
    DTE.Find.SearchPath = searchPath
    If (searchWindowOne) Then
        DTE.Find.ResultsLocation = vsFindResultsLocation.vsFindResults1
    Else
        DTE.Find.ResultsLocation = vsFindResultsLocation.vsFindResults2
    End If
    DTE.Find.PatternSyntax = vsFindPatternSyntax.vsFindPatternSyntaxLiteral
    DTE.Find.SearchSubfolders = True
    DTE.Find.FilesOfType = fileTypes
    DTE.Find.FindWhat = GetClipboard()
    If (DTE.Find.Execute() = vsFindResult.vsFindResultNotFound) Then
        Throw New System.Exception("vsFindResultNotFound")
    End If
End Sub

Public Sub ChangeMatchCase()
    matchCase = False
    matchWholeWord = False
End Sub

It adds a little more flexibility to the original approach. One of the good things is that is searches into both find windows alternating. That means your last two searches are always accessible. Of course this can't be used to be directly mapped to a shortcut but it allows to do this:

Sub SearchInProject()
    SearchFiles("*.*", "Current Project")
End Sub
Sub SearchInCode()
    SearchFiles("*.h;*.cpp", "Entire Solution")
End Sub

...and so on. These can then be mapped to shortcuts and allow real one key searching. As you might have noticed I added a switch for match case that can be activated by the macro ChangeMatchCase for the next search. In my setting I mapped different searches to double keystrokes. So Ctrl+F,Ctrl+G searches globally, Ctrl+F,Ctrl+Dsearches in the project, ... you get the point. I have similar mappings for all debug stuff starting with Ctrl+D,. This was maybe the single most important performance boost I had in the last years.
