Navigate To (CTRL + comma) in Visual Studio does not work

The "Navigate To" function (CTRL + comma) does not work on my solution. It gets stuck on "Found 0 matching results" while the little progress bar stays there but is empty.

I searched for some kind of IntelliSense cache file next to the .sln, but all I found was a .suo file which I deleted but it did not help.

Why is it not working?

The command is not "Navigate-To" but actually Edit-GotoAll and it has the keyboard shortcuts of Ctrl-T and the more known one of Ctrl-, (comma).

Solution

Here are the steps to resolve

  1. Verify it is working by trying the opposite keyboard shortcut. If both shortcuts do not work type in "Edit Goto All" in the command search/execute box of Visual Studio.

  • Does the command work? If it does not work then do a reset via Visual Studio Options:

View of the options dialog

  1. Then verify or add the keyboard command to the command in the mapping after the reset.
  • Type in "Edit.Goto" in the Window commands containing
  • Then selected Edit.Goto.All:

Use spyxx_amd64.exe in this answer should work for most cases. https://stackoverflow.com/a/43645062/1179950

However, this didn't work for me... For my case, which is caused by language keyboard hotkey setting in Windows. By Sougou Pinyin though I have uninstalled it..

You can unset this in Control Panal (Windows 10): Region&Language -> Advanced keyboard settings -> Language bar options ->Advanced Key settings panel

Unset all hotkeys you wont use!

For traditional Chinese users, you muse use the old version of new Cangjie.

Ctrl+Comma
