Visual Studio (2005,2008,2010) Tips and Tricks.


#79 Use F8 to Navigate the Find Results window

You've probably noticed that doing a Find in Files returns all the hits in a Find Results tool window.  Did you know, you can use [F8] (with focus either in the Find Results window or in the editor) to navigate to the next result or [SHIFT]+[F8] to the previous result.  (Edit.GoToNextLocation and Edit.GoToPrevLocation) The video is pretty helpful for the visual – but this is a trick you’ll want to remember, I use it 100’s of times a day.

Snippets / Notes:

Oh, and yes, you can do a quick find [CTRL]+[F3] within the Find Results window. So this let’s you find inside the find results, which may be helpful if what you searched for brought back more results that you hoped for ::smiles:: I think that warrants a video trick upon itself.
