Visual Sidekick Tour - Editor Navigation

Editor Navigation

Visual Sidekick's primary goal is to assist developers in navigating around their code as fast as possible.

The following navigating features exist inside the Visual Studio Editor Window:

Cycle between header (.h) and body (.cpp) files with a simple keypress (Ctrl+Enter).
Cycle between a method's specification (.h) and body (.cpp) with a simple keypress (Ctrl+Shift+Enter).
Search solution symbols with a simple keypress (Ctrl+Q).
Search local file symbols with a simple keypress (Ctrl+Shift+L).

The following navigating features exist inside the Visual Sidekick Toolwindow:

To load any file into the Visual Studio Editor, double-click the file or press Enter when the file is selected in Visual Sidekick.
To position the Visual Studio Editor on any symbol definition, double-click the symbol or press Enter when the symbol is selected in Visual Sidekick.
To position the Visual Studio Editor on any symbol's "alternate" file, ctrl+double-click the symbol or press Ctrl+Enter when the symbol is selected in Visual Sidekick. E.g. Pressing Ctrl+Enter on a class will load the .cpp file; pressing Ctrl+Enter on a method header specification will jump to the method body.
