# What's New in v21.2.5


## File-scoped Namespace Declaration Support for C# 10

The following refactorings can now be used in C# projects containing file-scoped namespace declarations:

* Sync Namespace with Folder Structure
* Move File to Folder
* Move Type to Namespace
* Move Type to File
* Declare Partial Class Part
* Declare Partial Record Part
* Extract Interface

The screencast below shows the "Move Type to File" refactoring in action:

We've also updated the CodeRush formatting engine to support the new C# 10 namespace declaration style as well as C# 10's new global using directives feature. 


## Sync Namespace with Folder Structure 

You can now apply the "Sync Namespace with Folder Structure" action in partial classes and in a copied folder that contains at least one .cs or .vb file. The namespace in copied files will be renamed according to the new files location.

##  Records and Record Structs Support

CodeRush now supports **records** (for C# 9) and **record structs** (for C# 10) in the following features:

  
### Code Cleanup 

You can apply the following [code cleanup rules](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/401352/code-style-assistance/code-cleanup/code-cleanup-rules): 

* Remove unused types

* Apply visibility style

* Sort modifiers

### Smart Constructor

The [Smart Constructor](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/401059/coding-assistance/declare-menu/declare-providers/constructor) feature now works with positional records:

### Diagnostics 

The [Code Issues window](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/401558/static-code-analysis/code-issues-window) can display the "Unused Type" and "Unused Member" code analysis diagnostics for unused records and record structs:

## Caps as a Shortcut Modifier

You can now use the **Caps Lock** key as a shortcut modifier (just like **Ctrl**, **Shift**, or **Alt**) to create shortcut bindings for your favorite CodeRush commands and quickly access a wide range of CodeRush functionality (refactorings, navigation, declarations, and more).

This feature also lowers the risk of unintentionally engaging **Caps Lock** - an accidental tap of the key no longer toggles the **Caps Lock** state in Visual Studio. If you ever do need to toggle **Caps Lock** on (or off), just quickly tap the **Caps** key twice.

To enable **Caps Lock** as a modifier: run the [Setup Wizard](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/116252/getting-started/first-steps#setup-wizard) and check the **Enable Caps as a Modifier** checkbox on the **Caps as a Modifier** setup page...

![](https://i.imgur.com/SLFB0nW.png)



or activate the "**Caps as a Modifier**" option on the **Quick Setup** options page.

![](https://i.imgur.com/orlDdfD.png)

Once you enable "Caps as a Modifier", you can quckly access a number of features that make development faster and easier. For example, you can use **Caps+Space** to compress to or expand from [Implicit/Explicit Declarations](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/115552/refactoring-assistance/make-implicit-explicit), [Expression Bodies](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/115599/refactoring-assistance/use-expression-body), [Ternary Expressions](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/115431/refactoring-assistance/compress-to-expand-ternary-expression), [Null Coalescing Operations](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/115402/refactoring-assistance/compress-to-expand-null-coalescing-operation), and [Initializers](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/400684/coding-assistance/code-providers/initialize). You can even use Caps+Space to [Inline Temporary Variables](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/115550/refactoring-assistance/inline-temp). The screencast below shows how to toggle with Caps+Space to make explicit variable declarations implicit: 

![](https://i.imgur.com/aJ1p0ad.gif)


To quickly declare a classes, members, and locals, just press **Caps**+ *the First Letter* of the desired element to create. For example, press the **Caps** key along with the letter **F** to declare a **field** variable initialized to this parameter.


![](https://i.imgur.com/vORKMp4.gif)

Similarly, **Caps**+**P** declares properties, **Caps**+**M** declares methods, and **Caps**+**L** declares locals (based on an expression entered on a line). **Caps**+**C** will declare a class, and **Caps**+**Q** will declare constants (consistent with using "q" to create constants in CodeRush templates).

To learn more about these, see the [Caps as a Shortcut Modifier](https://community.devexpress.com/blogs/markmiller/archive/2021/11/04/caps-as-a-modifier.aspx) blog post.

The new **Caps Lock** shortcuts for refactorings and code providers use an enhanced "ExecuteRefactoring" command, which allows you to specify multiple refactorings and code providers (that you want to all bind to a **single shortcut**), listed in the key binding's **Parameters** textbox. If you want to take a peek, you can see the mechanics of what we've done on the **IDE** | **Shortcuts** options page.

## Smart Navigation (SmartNav)

The new SmartNav feature allows you to quickly navigate between adjacent members, statements, and arguments in C#, Visual Basic, and TypeScript/JavaScript, and also between controls and properties in XAML and XML. To use SmartNav, first enable the "Caps Lock as a Modifier" feature (see the section above), and use **Caps** + *the Arrow keys*. 

In the screencast below, we're quickly changing the visibility of several methods by first navigating through them with **Caps**+**Down**, and then [cycling visibility](https://docs.devexpress.com/CodeRushForRoslyn/119941/coding-assistance/typing-helpers/cycle-scope-up-down) with **Alt**+**Up** and **Alt**+**Down**. 

![](https://i.imgur.com/svrq5iH.gif)

If you add the **Shift** key to any of these shortcuts (for example, **Caps**+**Shift**+**Down**) you can introduce a smart selection at the landing site. This can be useful for both viewing and changing values for matching properties in XAML.

![](https://i.imgur.com/Z5sUwh8.gif)

Note that pressing the **Shift** key optional after you have created the first selection. If you are using SmartNav and you already have a selection, SmartNav will try to preserve it in the move (so only **Caps**+*arrow key* would be needed after a selection was first created with **Caps**+**Shift**+*arrow key*).


## The Learning CodeRush Solution

This release introduces the "Learning CodeRush Solution" containing **interactive lessons** to help you learn **Caps Lock** shortcuts and help you practice new CodeRush features. To open this solution, select the **CodeRush** | **Support** | **Open Learning CodeRush Solution…** menu item or click the big **Open Learning CodeRush Solution** button on the last page of the Setup Wizard.
