Scrolling through Visual Studio Solution Explorer without mouse or keyboard arrows

Question

I would like to navigate through the solution explorer of Visual Studio (2019) without using the arrow-keys or the mouse. I already tried remapping the Edit.LineUp/Down with "Use new shortcut in:" global and solution explorer but I it's not working with my specified keys (Ctrl+j/k).

Am I using the wrong command or is my desired behavior simply not possible? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

1. Install Visual Assist (It's great and every visual studio user should have it!)
2. Shift + Alt + O to Open a file in Solution...
3. Type most or all of the filename until only one is left
4. Press Enter

If you don't want to use Visual Assist, there is a built-in solution Go To > File via Ctrl + Shift + T.

This will open a search bar where you can type in a filename and it will perform a similar feature but not as powerful.
