What's the GUID and ID of that menu group?\"* The answers are buried across dozens of documentation pages, header files, and SDK constants.\n\n**Command Explorer puts it all in one searchable tool window.**\n\n- 🔍 **Search thousands of commands** by name, GUID, ID, or key binding\n- 🏗️ **See the full menu hierarchy** — know exactly where a command lives\n- 📋 **Copy VSCT symbols** with one click — ready to paste into your `.vsct` file\n- 🎯 **Inspect mode** — point at any menu item in VS to instantly look it up\n- 📦 **Identify the owner** — see which package registered each command\n\n## Getting started\n\nOpen the tool window from **View → Other Windows → Command Explorer**.\n\n![Tool Window](art/toolwindow.png)\n\n## Features\n\n### Search and filter\n\nType in the search box to instantly filter commands. You can search by:\n\n- **Command name** — e.g. `Edit.Copy`, `File.SaveAll`\n- **GUID** — with or without braces/dashes\n- **ID** — decimal (`258`) or hex (`0x102`)\n- **Key binding** — e.g. `Ctrl+S`\n\n### Command details\n\nSelect any command to see its full details:\n\n| Field | Description |\n|-------|-------------|\n| **Display name** | The localized name shown in menus |\n| **Owner** | The VS package that registered the command |\n| **GUID** | The command set GUID, with known symbol names (e.g. `guidVSStd97`) |\n| **ID** | Numeric ID in hex and decimal, with known enum names (e.g. `cmdidCopy`) |\n| **Button text** | The text shown on the button/menu item |\n| **Key bindings** | All keyboard shortcuts with their scope |\n\n### Menu hierarchy\n\nThe hierarchy tree shows every place a command appears in the Visual Studio UI — menus, toolbars, and context menus — with the full parent chain and GUID:ID pairs at each level.\n\nThis is exactly what you need to fill in the `\u003cParent\u003e` element in your `.vsct` files.\n\n### Copy VSCT symbols\n\nRight-click any node in the hierarchy tree and select **Copy VSCT Symbols** to get a ready-to-paste snippet:\n\n```xml\n\u003cGuidSymbol name=\"guidVSStd97\" value=\"{5efc7975-14bc-11cf-9b2b-00aa00573819}\"\u003e\n  \u003cIDSymbol name=\"cmdidCopy\" value=\"0x000f\" /\u003e\n\u003c/GuidSymbol\u003e\n```\n\n### Inspect mode\n\nCheck the **Inspect mode** checkbox, then hold **Ctrl+Shift** and click any command in any menu or toolbar. Command Explorer will instantly jump to that command and show its details.\n\nThis is the fastest way to answer *\"What is the GUID:ID of the thing I just clicked?\"*\n\n## Use cases\n\n- **Placing commands**: Find the right group GUID and ID to parent your buttons and menu items\n- **Key binding conflicts**: Look up what's already bound to a shortcut before you claim it\n- **Debugging visibility**: Verify that your command is registered and find it by name or ID\n- **Learning the command table**: Browse what's available and discover commands you didn't know existed\n\n## License\n\n[Apache 2.0](LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmadskristensen%2Fcommandtableinfo","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmadskristensen%2Fcommandtableinfo","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmadskristensen%2Fcommandtableinfo/lists"}
