Finding it hard to click on that little red line to bring up the menu?

I find it really hard to get the mouse in the right place to bring up the smart tag menu:

My favourite key combo in Visual Studio is Ctrl + . (hold down control, press the dot). If you do this when you have the cursor near the smart tag, the menu will pop up. You can then use the keyboard arrow keys to go up and down to select (Enter) the option you want.

Ctrl + .

Magic.
