Installation goes very smooth. Just a few clicks and you’re d`one. When you start the Visual Studio you’re presented with the license dialog. JetBrains offers us 30-day trial, so we can just keep everything as it is and click OK button. As ReSharper provides a lot of features and shortcuts, you’re also presented with keyboard scheme dialog, where you need to decide which schema you’re going to use, if any at all.
If you hate tools that changes or overrides your default shortcuts, you will look forward to “Do Not Set Shortcuts” option, which will leave all shortcuts in place. However, I strongly suggest to opt for “Visual Studio” schema, which will preset all ReSharper shortcuts, even if this means some of them will conflict with current Visual Studio shortcuts. When this happens you’ll get notified about that trough the following dialog, where you can opt for what will the shortcut stand for. You can restore the default Visual Studio command, use preferred ReSharper command or simply opt for reconfiguration of ReSharper command.
Warning: This dialog won’t appear again if you check “Apply to all ReSharper shortcuts”.
