In Eclipse and Xcode it is possible to jump directly to the documentation for a function/class from the editor. Does Visual Studio provide this functionality?

You can use the navigation bar (the drop-down boxes at the top of the code window) to navigate to code in a codebase. You can choose a type or member to go directly to it. The navigation bar appears when you edit code in a Visual Basic, C#, or C++ code base.
From the menu bar, choose Tools > Options to open the Options dialog box. Then, navigate to Text Editor > C# (or Visual Basic) > Advanced. In the Editor Help section, look for the Generate XML documentation comments option.
In Visual Studio Code, you can also use Alt + Left-Arrow to return to your original location in the source code after navigating with F12.
Try F1 or Ctrl + F1.

Btw. with F12 you can go to the declaration of selected item in code.

Ah, try hitting F1 when your cursor is over a function or class. That should initiate a search in the MSDN documentation. Give that a shot!
