Command for Exiting NuGet Package Manager Console

Question

_{Wednesday, October 12, 2016 1:22 AM | 1 vote}

Just curious, but is there in fact no exit command one might issue at the PM> prompt in the NuGet Package Manager Console in Visual Studio? ctrl+tab doesn't seem to work for me. So the only way is to close the Package Manager Console window? Fine with me, as long as this never causes a problem. It does seem a bit inelegant, but I suppose that's of little import.

. . .

Thanks for your attention

Hi Tallisfan,

Do you mean you want to use some keyboard shortcut to close the Package Manager Console window in Visual Studio?

The Ctrl + Tab could help us leave Package Manager Console window to other window, but it will not close it.

If you want to close the Package Manager Console window, please use SHIFT + ESC to close current opened window in Visual Studio. I have tested in my Visual Studio 2015. No matter which window I opened/actived in Visual Studio, after I press SHIFT + ESC, current window will be closed.

If misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,

Yes, that works beautifully. Thank you very much for the reply. Obviously, it's a trivial matter, since I can always click to close the package manager console window, but, as I say, I was merely curious.

Thanks again.

After I did this, the Package Manager Console was disabled from my Views > Other Windows... list
