IntelliJ Shift Shift Shortcut in Visual Studio (Global Search)


After doing some Java I fell in love with some of IntelliJ's features. Especially the keyboard shortcut SHIFT +SHIFT which lets you jump to any other file.

This is a huge time savesaver. Now that I'm back in VS I really miss that feature when I'm editing code. Is there any way to reproduce this in Visual Studio? Perhaps a plugin of some sort?


Solution

  • A few years later and ReSharper now has this feature in the latest version.

    It's called Search Everywhere/Go to Type and is triggered with shortcut CTRL + N

    Extremely useful feature, saves you lots of time and allows you to jump to other files while editing code. Once you try it, using Solution Explorer feels like a waste of time. I got used to it while using IntelliJ IDEA & Android Studio, glad it's now available in Visual Studio via ReSharper.
