How to go back and forth in visual studio 2010
Visual StudioVisual Studio-2010Visual Studio Problem Overview
In xcode and in eclipse there is a version where we can go back and forth to our last cursor location.
For example, say I am editing one function. Then I go to the definition of that function. Then I want to go back to the first function.
Say I am editing A() that call B(). In A(), I go to the definition of B() and I want to go back to editing A() again.
How do I do so?
Visual Studio Solutions
Solution 1 - Visual Studio
Use Control-minus (Ctrl- "-"). See here
If it doesn't work, it's probably because you use a different key binding. Go to Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboad->"View.NavigateBackwards" and add your key (Don't forget to Apply !)
Solution 2 - Visual Studio
Use the "Ctrl"-"Shift"-"-" to move forward after you have used "Ctrl"-"-" to move back.
see Microsoft blog
Solution 3 - Visual Studio
I use the Visual Assist X plugin for Visual Studio, which (among other things) allows me to use the Back and Forward buttons on the mouse.
For a keyboard shortcut, I use Alt-Left Arrow for back, and Alt-Right Arrow for forward. I don't know if that's through Visual Studio or Visual Assist X.
