General
tip
You can also configure features related to navigation in compiled code on the page of ReSharper options.
Enable 'Search Everywhere' | If this checkbox is selected, the Search Everywhere/Go to Type command searches for types, symbols, and files; otherwise, it only searches for types. |
Integrate Go to Text into Search Everywhere | By default, navigation to text is integrated into Search Everywhere Ctrl+T — ReSharper will show textual occurrences matching the query string in the end of the results list, after all matching types, symbols, and files. You can disable this behavior by clearing this checkbox. If this option is disabled, you can navigate to text by pressing Ctrl+T three times. |
Fuzzy results in Go to Text | When this checkbox is selected, Go to Text (Ctrl+T 3 times) takes into account various typos and missing words. Otherwise, only direct matches will ge listed in the results. |
Remember last search | ReSharper can remember the last input that you used to find something with Search Everywhere/Go to Type, Go to Symbol, Go To File, and Go to Text actions. When this option is selected, ReSharper will also use your current selection in the editor as the initial search query. For example, you can select a filename in a string and then press Ctrl+Shift+T to search for files in your solution that match this name. |
Remember extended search preferences | Select this option to remember search command options, such as Include library types in Go to Symbol, Include base members in Go to File Member, and Match case in Go to Text. |
Go to Usage: if there is only one result, navigate without displaying the list | If this checkbox is selected and a single usage is found by the Go to Usage feature, the pointer is transferred to the usage right away. |
Go to Base/Inheritor: if there is only one result, navigate without displaying the list | If this checkbox is selected and a single occurrence is found by either Go to Base Symbols or Go to Derived Symbols, the pointer is transferred to the occurrence right away. |
Rich mouse navigation in the editor | If this checkbox is selected, you can navigate to declaration of a symbol by Ctrl-clicking any of its usages in the editor.  The main menu command and the F12 shortcut stay available regardless of this setting. |
Use Ctrl+Alt+Click for Go to Implementation | If this checkbox is selected, you will be able to navigate to implementation of a symbol by Ctrl+Alt-clicking symbols. Note that in Visual Studio 2017 and later, the Ctrl+Alt-click is used for adding multiple carets. So you may want to disable this option if you use Visual Studio's multi-caret features. The main menu command and the Ctrl+F12 shortcuts stay available regardless of this setting. |
Use Middle-Click to Go to Declaration | If this checkbox is selected, you can navigate to declaration of a symbol using the middle mouse button. |
Use Ctrl+Middle-Click to Peek Usages | If this checkbox is selected, you will be able study symbol usages in the Peek Definition view by Ctrl-clicking the middle mouse button on its declaration or any of its usages in the editor. |
Use Ctrl+Shift+Click to Peek Declaration | If this checkbox is selected, you will be able to open the declaration of a symbol in the Peek Definition view by Ctrl+Shift-clicking any of its usages in the editor. |
Use Ctrl+Alt+Middle-Click to Peek Implementations | If this checkbox is selected, you will be able to open implementations of a symbol in the Peek Definition view by Ctrl+Alt-clicking the middle mouse button on its declaration or any of its usages in the editor. |
Open new files in preview tab from everywhere | If this checkbox is selected, every time a navigation or search command opens a new document, it opens in the Preview tab. The Preview tab must be also enabled in Visual Studio options: |
Smart Go to Declaration behavior | Use this selector to choose how the Go to declaration command F12 behaves when the caret is already on a declaration. You have the following options:
|
Find generic type usages behavior | This selector allows you to choose how the Find Usages feature searches for generic type usages. When searching for usages of generic types such as |

, press .png "Themed icon error stripe find next screen gray"){kind=icon}

ReSharper's settings are saved in settings layers, which allow you to have different settings for different solutions and to share your settings with your team.
