Install directly from the official Visual Studio extension marketplace with no additional configuration required.
EasyVS is a free add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio, the popular programming environment used by many developers who build Windows and .NET applications. Its goal is simple: make everyday work in Visual Studio more convenient by adding small, handy shortcuts and features that the standard software doesn't include out of the box. It is available directly through the official Visual Studio extension marketplace. The tool works by layering a set of quality-of-life improvements on top of the standard Visual Studio interface. For example, it lets you quickly create collapsible sections in your code, open the folder containing your project directly from within the editor, and switch between seven different editor color themes. It also adds some practical time-savers: you can automatically insert standard header information at the top of your code files, duplicate the line you're currently working on with a quick keyboard shortcut, and restart Visual Studio without having to close and reopen it manually. This extension is built for software developers who spend their days writing code inside Visual Studio and want to reduce repetitive friction. If you find yourself constantly navigating menus just to do something simple like opening your project folder in Windows Explorer, or if you wish you could quickly apply a different look to your code editor to reduce eye strain, this tool is designed to fill those gaps. It is essentially a collection of the kind of micro-improvements that power users tend to crave. The project itself appears to be a modest, straightforward collection of individual conveniences rather than a deeply integrated workflow overhaul. The README doesn't go into detail about how it is built under the hood, but the list of features suggests it focuses on tackling several small annoyances at once. For developers who spend hours at a time in Visual Studio, even minor interface improvements like these can add up to a noticeable difference in daily comfort.
