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

Question

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?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I went to Tools > Options... > Environment > Keyboard and clicked Reset. Yes, it will reset any customizations you had, but I figured that was the problem for me (I had an add-in take over Ctrl-, and even when I disabled the add-in it wasn't working). Resetting the keyboard shortcut customizations did the trick.

Answer 2

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:

3. 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:
