Thank you Matthew. Your solution worked for the source editor. I’m still having problems in the HTML/text editors though. It won’t allow me to assign the tab key to anything. I’ve ended up using emacs emulation and adding lots of spaces in HTML.

I just stumbled across this while googling for the same problem. You should have googled a bit longer Anyway, you can fix it by going to Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard (this is in VS2005, but I think it’s the same). Under “Show commands containing”, type “breakline”. Click on Edit.Breakline, then under “Use new shortcut in:”, choose Text Editor. Click or tab to the next box, hit the Enter key, then click Assign.
