Is there a keyboard shortcut to move the cursor between methods in Visual Studio 2010?
Note: For VS <2015, the following works only for the VB.NET code editor. In VS 2015+, apparently the C# code editor is also supported.
While there are no default keyboard bindings to jump between methods, you can set them up yourself:
Go to Tools → Customize…, then Keyboard…, and do the following:
Search for the commands by typing
Method
in the input line at the top.Locate the two commands
Edit.NextMethod
andEdit.PreviousMethod
.For each of these, select the command first, then move the input focus to the input field Press shortcut keys, enter an unassigned key combination, and press the Assign button.
(The screenshot above shows that I have previously assigned one of these commands to Ctrl+Shift+<.)
Hi another (cheaper) alternative might be the CTRL+M+M to collapse/expand the current method to it's definition, allowing you to quickly navigate to the next. Also CTRL+M+O to collapse all members is useful, with CTRL+M+L to expand all again.
Visual Studio doesn't have such a function, but JetBrains' ReSharper does. At least is the only one that I know of to offer this functionality.
For ReSharper the shortcuts are Alt-Up
and Alt-Down
, for previous/next member.
