Would questions about Visual Studio or Netbeans that are not directly related to writing code be off topic on SO?

The question I have in mind would be something along the lines of: Must know Visual Studio hot keys? (Marked as a Community Wiki of course)

I ask this with the intention of how to save time and focus on the code instead of hunting and pecking through the Visual Studio interface to find something to help.

IDEs are absolutely on topic. From the FAQ, you can post questions about:

  • a specific programming problem
  • a software algorithm
  • software tools commonly used by programmers
  • matters that are unique to the programming profession

It's worth noting, however, that all the usual rules about subjective/poll questions still apply.

In general IDEs are on topic. However, your particular question has already been asked.
