Visual Studio - I want "Go To Definition" to open Object Browser, not "metadata"

Question

In Visual Studio version 2002 and 2003 "Go To Definition" would find the selected type or member in the Object Browser. In 2005 onwards it opens a source window "generated from metadata" instead. How do I configure these newer versions to go to Object Browser? (In other words, I have the opposite problem to this one.)

Installing ReSharper makes this change, so I know it must be possible, but how do I do it without ReSharper?

Answer 1

As workaround you can create the following macro:

Sub GoToDefinitionUsingObjectBrowser()
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.SelectCurrentWord")
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.ObjectBrowser")
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.ObjectBrowserSearch", DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text)
End Sub

Then go to Tools/Options/Keyboard and assign hot key for this macro.

Tested in Visual Studio 2010.
