A lot of devs install Visual Assist and live in 3 features for 5 years.
the new VA Starter Guide is built to fix that.
12 features, the full shortcut sheet, AI/Intelligence setup, and the parts the docs bury.

Shift Alt C โ Create from Usage.
Write the call first, generate the stub second. VA infers types and places the stub correctly. Your caret stays put.

Shift Alt R โ Rename.
across a project or a full solution. Preview every affected location before you commit. Cancel = no side effects.
If you've ever renamed a function and missed three call sites, this is the fix.
Alt G โ Go to Implementation.
includes overload menus, jumps to symbols inside comments, follows VA Hashtags, and works on files outside the project.
Alt โ gets you back. Alt โ goes forward.
Shift Alt F โ Find References.
Read vs. write references in different colors. group by project. Press D for declarations only. Press P to toggle scope.
The big win is on macro-heavy or mid-edit code where built-in find-refs misses things.
