Finding Visual Studio commands
The goal of the Quick Launch box is to provide a keyboard-friendly way of accessing the extended features of Visual Studio without having to clutter the central interface. Keyboard shortcuts are a great way to speed up tasks, but it can be difficult to learn and remember while first starting out or while exploring a new area of Visual Studio. The Quick Launch option addresses this by providing a way to locate different areas of the program and learn keyboard shortcuts, and providing a keyboard-centric way to access commands.
