Release for 2012
I can now install it in VS2012, but the shortcut is not working. In your documentation it states that one should use "Ctrl+Shift+;". On my machine + locale&layout (system = German, VS IDE = English) that is the shortcut for zooming out (which is in fact "Ctrl+Shift+," [note: comma instead of semicolon] but on a German keyboard that results in the same combination).
The "Tools" menu states that "Ctrl+Shift+L" should be the correct shortcut instead:
However, that is the standard shortcut to delete the current line in VS, so that isn't working either. As a fix I can of course set a custom shortcut and then it works flawlessly. I am not sure if that is a VS2012 issue or just a general language/keyboard layout topic.
Unfortunately this is just a generic VS keyboard issue.
The original Easy Motion plugin that I was emulating uses the L version of the shortcut. Even though, as you noted, this is already mapped in most VS installations I kept it for familiarity of anyone that was used to the extension.
As for the German keyboard conflict that sound you heard is me swearing at my keyboard :(. There is unfortunately no giant master list of keyboard shortcuts. It varies from programming language, VS profile and actual UI language. It makes it nearly impossible to find a good truly unused shortcut to build upon when writing a new extension. Makes it tough on developers trying to keep it clean for everyone
Does it work if you remap it to a different key? That should work as Easy Motion uses standard command routing
Yes, as I wrote, using a custom shortcut set via the VS options works just fine. Just wanted to make you aware of the situation, although you probably cannot make anything about that.
Out of curiosity, what shortcut did u choose?

"Ctrl+Shift+ö" which are the same keys on my German keyboard as the ones you use for "Ctrl+Shift+;" on your one.
