Today’s shortcut is [Alt + b, h] This will open open the build menu and select the Publish Project option.

This option is useful when you are working on more than one content file at a time. Or else I prefer to use [Alt + ‘;’, Alt + ‘p’] which publishes the currently open file which can be much faster if you have a lot of content.

I have tested this in VS 2019 for a Web Application Project.
