Structure window
Alt+7
With JetBrains Rider, you can navigate the structure of the current document using the Structure window, which greatly simplifies navigation in large files. The window is synchronized with the editor: as you switch to another editor tab, the window displays the structure of the corresponding file. To navigate through the file easily, preprocessor directives are hidden by default.
Right from the Structure window, you can access even more actions. To check the available commands, you can right-click any symbol.

Perform refactorings( Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T)
If the opened file contains unit tests, these are marked with corresponding icons displaying the status of their last execution. You can also run and debug unit tests right from inside the Structure window.
