Visual Studio settings changed and the CTRL + . is no longer bring up the options to create new files

[peggyccollier (Peggy Collier)]

I finished Lesson 8 without any issues and then was playing around with some keyboard short cuts. I then started Lesson 9: Learning a Testing Framework and now the CTRL + . is no longer bringing up the option to create a file and I am not getting the ‘angry squiggly underline’ anymore. I have tried to find a solution on line but I haven’t had any luck with any solutions they provided. Has anyone else had this issue here.

Hi Peggy!

You may be experiencing issues with the OmniSharp plugin that handles much of that functionality. Restarting OmniSharp will often fix those sorts of problems.

To restart, open the Command Palate with Ctrl-Shift-P on Windows or Cmd-Shift-P on Mac. If there’s not a “>” prompt then type that character. Next type “OmniSharp: Restart OmniSharp”. Autofill should handle that for you after you type just a few characters.

Hit Enter to confirm. There’s no big visual confirmation that OmniSharp has restarted, but you should see the red squiggly appearing afterwards.

There’s a short animated gif below that I’m hoping works to show you the fix.
