How can I navigate the call stack in Visual Studio using just the keyboard?

My current solution is to hit AltD, W, C, which navigates via the menus to the call stack, and then I can use the arrows to navigate. But once I press Enter on a particular frame, I have to repeat again.

Is there a more fluid way to navigate the call stack with just my keyboard?

ReSharper oriented answers are OK for me if you have one!

Here is a dorky AutoHotkey script that will navigate up and down the call stack using CtrlAltNumPadUp and CtrlAltNumPadDown.

SetTitleMatchMode 2 ; Allow for partial matches in window titles
#IfWinActive, (Debugging) ; Only work while VS is debugging
  ^!Numpad2:: ; Navigate down Call Stack in Visual Studio
    Send ^!c
    Send {Down}
    Send {Enter}
  return
  ^!Numpad8:: ; Navigate up Call Stack in Visual Studio
    Send ^!c
    Send {Up}
    Send {Enter}
  return
#IfWinActive

Call Stack view in Visual Studio can be brought up with Ctrl+Alt+C or Alt+7. That allows navigating the stack with ↑ and ↓ as well as performing "Switch To Frame" action with Enter⏎.

Unfortunately, switching to a frame moves focus to the editor window, so the above sequence of actions has to be done again if you want to switch to another frame.

I use the VS2010 default keyboard mapping scheme and by pressing Ctrl+Alt+C brings up the call stack window in which I can use the arrow keys to navigate.

The macro name is Debug.CallStack
