Aliases provide a means for entering a command into the Find/Command box or Command window by shortening the text needed to execute the command. For example, instead of entering >File.OpenFile to display the Open File dialog box, you can use the pre-defined alias >of.

The table below contains a list of the pre-defined aliases that come with Visual Studio. You can easily create new aliases. For more information, see How to: Create Custom Aliases for Visual Studio Commands.
Some command names use arguments that allow you to completely bypass the user interface for a given dialog box. In addition, some command names have more than one pre-defined alias. Click the links for the command names below to display detailed topics that explain the correct syntax, arguments, and switches for those commands.
