Go to Base Symbols

Last modified: 22 September 2022

Navigate | Base Symbols

Alt+Home

This command allows you to navigate up the inheritance hierarchy to a base type or method of the current symbol. You can invoke this command from the Solution Explorer, from Structure and other tool windows.

Navigation in the opposite direction is available with the Go to Derived Symbols and Go to Implementation commands.

For types that inherit from other types or implement interfaces and for members that override, implement, or hide members from base types, JetBrains Rider displays special gutter icons (for example, Themed icon overrides screen gray). Hover the mouse over the icon to see the base symbols and to navigate up the inheritance hierarchy.

JetBrains Rider: Navigate to base symbols from editor gutter

If the item you navigate to belongs to the current solution, JetBrains Rider opens the corresponding file in the editor and places the caret at the symbol declaration. If it is in referenced libraries, JetBrains Rider navigates according to the settings defined on the Tools | External Symbols page of JetBrains Rider settings Ctrl+Alt+S.
