Search & jump between lines in VS

Question

I am new and I hate files with more than 1000 lines of code because I have to scroll alot.

So my question is when I am working on a line and I have to look up to a name of some property, how do I find that property name fast and how do I jump back to the line I was actually editing without scrolling alot?

What options do I have?

Answer 1

Within Visual Studio, the following short-cuts exist (by default).

Ctrl + , - Allows you to search for a method or class name.

Ctrl + G - Allows you to 'jump' to a line number, if you can remember it.

Answer 2

You can use Ctrl + F for searching the specific property and use Navigate Backward: Shift+Alt+3; Navigate Forward: Shift+Alt+4 to get back to the editing line.

Hope this may help you.

Answer 3

It contains all methods, fields, properties:

Answer 4

In visual studio code editor, there will be a combobox which displays all the members of current class(which is located in top right corner of editor). Select the property you are interested. It will navigate you to the property definition.

To get back to the place where you were Press ctrl + - (Navigate backward command).
