VS2010 Productivity Power Tools

I am currently testing the VS2010 Productivity Power Tools.  They are amazing!

Some of the best features (in my opinion) are related to code formating.

For example – spacing:

By pressing ctrl+alt+] on the following code:

this.PartitionKey = userAccount;
this.RowKey = username;
this.token = token;
this.secret = secret;

it became


this.PartitionKey = userAccount;
this.RowKey       = username;
this.token        = token;
this.secret       = secret;

Synergy and Visual Studio

Currently I am running a windows 7 machine, ubuntu test server and a perosnal macbook pro at my desk . All of them are being controlled by one pair of mice and keyboard which is why  I am a big fan of synergy. The only issue that I was experiencing is that most times visual studio was trapping my mouse and not letting me move it to the next screen.  The trick is to start synergy under the administration account, it solved all problems.
