Find Symbol in VS

La commande du jour: I just discovered the Edit | Find and Replace | Find Symbol command in Visual Studio. Yep, new things every day.

Here is its description: Searches for objects (namespaces, classes, structures, interfaces, types, enums, and so forth) and their members (properties, methods, events, variables, constants, enum items, and so forth) in the current scope.

Quite useful to jump to a class definition based on a name you type in. It even lists the references (where this class is used) for you. Note that there is also the Quick Find Symbol command, which does the same without displaying the dialog box.

BTW, I use the right click | Go To Definition (F12) command a lot, but I had never came accross Find Symbol yet.
Toss in View.NavigateBackward and View.NavigateBackward, and you're ready for quick and fluid code navigation.
