Ctrl+K
In Eclipse it means: find-next. In VS it does nothing (except that small message about waiting the second keystroke)... However if I do not realize my mistake and hit it again I set a bookmark... Now Ctrl+K, F3 is invalid, so I already at 3 hits...

CTRL+SHIFT+B gets me - "Build" in VS, "Toggle bookmarks" in Chrome.
And F5 is "Refresh" yes? Not in Outlook - that's F9. Except in Live Mail, it's back to F5 ... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Different versions of Visual Studio have their Build keys mapped differently. In some cases it's F6, other CTRL+B, and I've even see CTRL+SHIFT+F6
That is the most annoying blasted thing MS does - LEAVE THE DAMN KEYS THE SAME FROM ONE VERSION TO THE NEXT!
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

ctrl-G. I used to love ringing the bell.

Try switching between Visual Studio and Xcode on a frequent, ad-hoc basis. It does your head in (and VS is a lot nicer).

Visual Studio compiles & runs with F5, Delphi with F9. I sometimes find myself setting a breakpoint (that's what F5 does in Delphi) instead of compiling.

The "hjkl" for navigation and "\" for searching CTRL+G as well

My Visual Studio shortcuts:
F12 - Go to next bookmark in document
Shift-F12 - Previous bookmark in document
Ctrl-F12 - Toggle bookmark
Alt-F12 - Clear bookmarks in document
Shift-Alt-C - Clean solution
Shift-Alt-B - Rebuild solution
I leave the rest of them alone. Whenever I use a lab machine I usually set these. The defaults for [Shift/Ctrl/Alt]-F12 don't do anything especially useful, and the other two aren't even set, so they don't piss off my coworkers.

Toggling comments.
Ctrl+K, Ctrl+C to comment in VS
Ctrl+K, Ctrl+U to uncomment in VS
Ctrl+/ to toggle on or off in everything else.

Just make the computer use the control sequences/shortcuts you want.
I'm an old fart and I have the WordStar shortcuts/control sequences embedded in my brain. So for a couple of decades I only used editors that were configurable enough to continue to use the WordStar sequences. I also remapped the keyboard after IBM changed the control key location (to put it back to where it belonged). Now a days I just use AutoHotKey to let every editor/word processor I use, use the WordStar controls. Word, Code Composer Studio, Visual Studio, NotePad++, jEdit, etc. They all use the WordStar sequences when my AutoHotKey script is active.

What drives me crazy is that Ctrl+Z for UNDO has a perfectly logical Shift+Ctrl+Z for REDO. Why doesn't everything - what is this stupid Ctrl+Y for, half-way across the keyboard?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Speaking of OLD software shortcuts you had to learn and use, I still remember the WordStar shortcuts to mnark a block of text:
You had to use Ctrl+KB to mark the "blocK Beggining",
then Ctrl+KK to mark the blocK end(K?),
finally Ctrl+KC for blocK Copying.
Oh! the good days of word processors in DOS!

Android Studio's "Visual Studio" emulation has always thrown me for a loop. I've used Visual Studio 6 throw 2017 and still don't know which version it "emulates".

Not out of place but just plain mia on windows, multiple copy and paste buffers
"ayy
"byy
It used to be so easy to edit multiple files in unix and paste in sets of changes rather than just work backwards and forwards
ok, so I am mixing operating systems but I have been windows based for 15 or more years and I still miss this functionality
There are always third party utilities but I prefer to keep the use of these to a minimum and it should just be baked in
and breathe...

You know what drives me mad? When I try to use Ctrl+Y to redo and it deletes a line. Not only do I lose that line but I lose all the code that I've just undone with Ctrl+Z.  I've changed the key mapping on my computer but I was helping a friend with his code the other day and managed to delete a load of it

Why did they shift the single step in VS from F5 to F11? Is that some plot by left handers?

Damnit! Even that makes me instinctively want to reply, "And also with you."

I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.
