I spend most of my day in either SMSS or Visual Studio (currently 2010), and there are a couple of small changes that I’m fond of making. It’s not a big deal, but I really like VS to close the quote marks for me in the HTML editor, it makes typing slightly faster. And, I like the tabs on the tab well to be all the same size. It’s slightly easier to close a bunch of them quickly, you don’t have to move the cursor, you can just click.

But, I hate to spend the time to look for these options in Tools > Options, there are so many options. So I thought I’d blog the options and have them on hand the next time I need to set them.

In order to get the ‘tabs’ feature, you’ll want to install the Productivity Power Pack
