 - **Mock code using task list**. If you don't have enough requirements to complete a piece of code, use Task List to track code comments that use tokens such as `TODO` and `HACK`, or custom tokens, and to manage shortcuts that take you directly to a predefined location in code. For more information, see [Use the Task List](../ide/using-the-task-list.md).
 
 - **Use Solution Explorer shortcuts**. If you're new to Visual Studio, these shortcuts come in handy and save you time while you're coming up to speed on a new codebase. For the full list of shortcuts, see [Default keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio](../ide/default-keyboard-shortcuts-in-visual-studio.md#bkmk_solutionexplorerGLOBAL).

+- **Use keyboard shortcuts from a different editor**. If you're coming from another IDE or coding environment, you can change your keyboard scheme to *Visual Studio Code* or *ReSharper (Visual Studio)* using **Tools > Options** settings for **Environment > Keyboard**. Some extensions also offer keyboard schemes: [HotKeys for Visual Studio (ReSharper/IntelliJ)](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JustinClareburtMSFT.HotKeys) and [VSVim](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JaredParMSFT.VsVim).

You can identify keyboard shortcuts for Visual Studio commands, customize those shortcuts, and export them for others to use. You can always find and change a keyboard shortcut in the Options dialog box.
 
 - **Make Visual Studio more accessible**. Visual Studio has built-in accessibility features that are compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies. See [Accessibility tips and tricks for Visual Studio](../ide/reference/accessibility-tips-and-tricks.md) for the full list of available features.
