This is just a quick tip that you can use to restart ReSharper in Visual Studio (without restarting the IDE) if it becomes unresponsive. In my case, it just disappears from view and the majority of my shortcuts stop working.
Open the immediate window, either through the menu “Debug->Windows->Immediate” or using the keyboard shortcut “Ctl-Alt-I”.
Type in:
>ReSharper_Suspend press enter, and then
>ReSharper_Resume
You must type the “>” first to be able to enter commands in the immediate window.
Some other notes:
- You can use the command window as well (just leave out the angle bracket), however, I find that the shortcut “Ctl-Alt-A” often breaks when ReSharper is broken. Moving my hand to my mouse is an effort :)
- You could also use the command “ReSharper_ToggleSuspended” twice in a row; You just have to keep swapping to a code window to test it out.
