Go to Everything/Type
This command combines two different features:
- Go to Everything, which appears first, allows you to navigate to the following destinations: types, symbols, files, recent edits, recent files, and recently viewed methods. The list of suggestions appears as soon as you invoke this feature and initially includes your recent files and navigated items.
- Go to Type allows you to navigate to any type.
Using these features you can search items in symbols and files in your entire solution as well as all assemblies referenced in the projects of your solution. Search results also include matching items from all assemblies that are currently loaded in the Assembly Explorer Window.
Note that this command works in global scope, i.e. you do not need to bring your focus to the editor to invoke it.
To navigate to everything or to a type
- Press Ctrl+N or choose in the main menu .
- In the Enter type/symbol/file name pop-up list that appears, start typing the item name. As you type, the list of items narrows down, suggesting names that match the entered substring.
- To switch to the Go to Type feature, click the menu command or press the shortcut once again. The Enter type name pop-up list appears where you can specify a type you are looking for.
-
Select the
Include library types
check box or press
Alt+N
to display items from libraries referenced in the solution.
By default, as long as your input matches with anything in your solution, only solution items are displayed. If your there are no matches for your input in the solution, ReSharper starts looking for matching library types automatically. -
Do one of the following:
- Click on the desired item to open it in the editor.
- Select the desired item by pressing Up and Down and then press Enter to open it in the editor.
-
To view and
analyze
the list of matched items in the
Find Results Window, click
Show in Find Results
or press + on the numeric keypad.
If the item you navigate to belongs to the current solution, ReSharper opens the corresponding file in the editor and places the caret at the symbol declaration. If it is found in referenced libraries, ReSharper navigates according to the settings defined on the page of ReSharper options.
You can narrow down the list of items using
CamelHumps.
It is case-insensitive, so there is no difference between 'rtbf' and 'RTBF'.
ReSharper always shows recently visited items at top of the list and highlights them in green.
To disable the Go to Everything functionality and navigate to types only, clear the Enable 'Go to Everything' check box on the page of ReSharper options.
