"Go to method in current file" feature in Visual Studio 17.9 is now missing (regression)


Since Visual Studio 17.9, Microsoft removed the possibility to locate a method or a member in the current file. Or am I missing something? In previous Visual Studio, this is what I could do: Ctrl+T, then start typing the method or member name.

The new Ctrl+T from Microsoft can only locate members in the WHOLE SOLUTION. I need to find a member in the current file only.


Solution

  • An actual workaround is to rebind “Edit.GoToRecentFile” to Ctrl+T … this dialog still uses the classic search experience. It will launch with r already populated to search for recent files, but still will search all files. For the other searches, you can just delete the r and use the other character-based searches.
