Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard -> Then click reset on the applicable keyboard mapping scheme. Then go to ReSharper -> Options -> Environment -> General -> then restore ReSharper keyboard shortcuts.

I'd love to use this shortcut, but it continues to wait for the second key of the chord. I have made sure that this specific shortcut has not been overwritten by restoring ReSharper keyboard shortcuts and still no go. Moreover, the VS ctrl-alt-right arrow shortcut doesn't work and the Resharper -> Code -> Extend Selection does not have the ctrl-w shortcut description next to it while the shrink selection (ctrl-shift-w) does (and does work). Am I missing something completely obvious here? Argh. I’d love to use this shortcut, but it continues to wait for the second key of the chord.

That was my fault, ambiguous wording. Thanks for taking note! Hi Joe,

I would've expected the second time to move up to the word -- i.e., to have the option add one more step to the beginning of the sequence, without actually removing any functionality.

Hi Paulius,
ReSharper provides four actions for using CamelHumps locally when the corresponding global option is switched off:
ReSharper_HumpNext - move caret to next hump/word
ReSharper_HumpPrev - move caret to previous hump/word
ReSharper_HumpNextExtend - expand selection to next hump
ReSharper_HumpPrevExtend - expand selection to previous hump
Of course, you can assign to them whatever shortcuts you feel appropriate in VS Tools > Options > Environment> Keyboard
Note that both HumpNextExtend and HumpPrevExtend only work in a linear fashion, without additional functionality of Extend/Shrink Selection
Hope that helps.

Or at least it could be turned on/off with a shortcut. It's rather useful actually (CamelHumps), but it's like 30/70 for me, where I would use 30% for selection with CamelHumps and 70% without it, so currently it does not justify turning it on every time it is needed for a short period of time.. thanks Hi,
