Why is Visual Studio 2022 "go to all" or search feature dialogs not showing all of a sudden?


For years I have been using the mapped Ctrl+T 'Go To All' shortcut to search for Classes, Methods and Properties in Visual Studio with a great deal of success.

A week or so ago (perhaps after an update - I'm not sure as I have auto updates on) it stopped working. Even when I manually click on the 'Search' tool (or use the default Ctrl + Q shortcut); I get nothing. No popup dialog appears.

I now can't seem to get the feature back. What's going on?

I have tried the following:

Any other ideas/suggestions would be useful as I am quite reliant on the feature for productivity.

Worth mentioning that I haven't raised a bug or asked Microsoft yet - I was wondering if anyone else had this issue before I go ahead and do that.

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.6.2

Edit: I have now raised a ticket with Microsoft: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/GoToAll-CtrlT-stopped-working--/10476093


Solution

  • For those on Visual Studio versions < 17.7.4; I would recommend upgrading. If you don't want to upgrade then follow the instructions below as a workaround:

    Ctrl+T now works as expected - the GoToAll popup appears
