Go to Usages of Symbol
This command allows you to quickly navigate to a specific usage of a symbol from its declaration or any other usage. You can invoke this command from the Assembly Explorer, File Structure window, and other tool windows. The opposite navigation is available with the Go to Declaration command.
The list of usages that you get with this command is the same as that of Find Usages. But this command is more convenient for symbols with a limited number of usages, in cases when you are looking for a specific usage and want to get to this usage without opening the Find Results window.
