Visual Studio - Shortcut to Navigate to Solution Explorer
Is there a keyboard shortcut in Visual Studio (aside from CTRL+TAB and selection) that would take me from inside a document directly into the solution explorer? I don't want to customize any shortcuts or change any default behavior.
CTRL+ALT+L
should shift focus to the Solution Explorer.
For visual studio 2012 use:
CTRL+[ + S this selects your current document in the solution explorer.
When using VS 2012 with the Visual C# 2005 keyboard mapping scheme:
CTRL+W, S
I find this easier to memorize: All shortcuts beginning with CTRL+W are for opening or navigating to W indows:
- CTRL+W, S: S olution Explorer
- CTRL+W, E: E rror list
- CTRL+W, R: R esourceview
- CTRL+W, A: Command window (A ction ...)
- CTRL+W, T: T askview
- CTRL+W, Q: Find Symbol Results
- CTRL+W, X: Toolbo x
- CTRL+W, C: C lassview
- CTRL+W, P: P roperties
- CTRL+W, B: B ookmarks
- ...
In Visual Studio 2012 you can now use CTRL+; as this is the default keyboard shortcut for the solution explorer search box.
