Are you tired of right-clicking on your Biml files to Check Biml for Errors or to Generate SSIS Packages? Did you know that you can create your own BimlExpress Keyboard Shortcuts? 🤓

Go to Tools → Options:

BimlExpress Keyboard Shortcuts -> Tools -> Options.

Select Environment → Keyboard, then type Biml in the Show commands containing box:

BimlExpress Keyboard Shortcuts.

Select a Biml command, click in the Press shortcut keys box, click the keyboard shortcut combination of your choice, and click the Assign button. In this example, I have used Ctrl+Shift+C, Ctrl+Shift+B (I chose C then B for “Check Biml”):

BimlExpress Keyboard Shortcuts - Assign Shortcut.

Click OK, and that’s it! You can now use your keyboard shortcuts while having one or more Biml files selected. The shortcuts will appear in your BimlExpress menus in the toolbar and when you right-click on a file.
