Navigation within Resx files

Optionally, you can tick a checkbox to include members from related files.
When you see the desired string in the list, select it and press Enter or click it.

ReSharper's File Structure window window can display the structure of resource files. It lists all resource entries in a resource file, visualizing resource IDs, resource text in the current culture, and resource comments (if any). In addition, this window specifies whether resource entries are overridden in other cultures, and whether they contain format placeholders.
