Navigate To is a single shortcut for most of your navigation needs. It opens a list with all contextually available navigation destinations. You can invoke this command from the Solution Explorer, Structure, and other tool windows.

View contextually available navigation actions

1. Place the caret at symbol in the editor or select the symbol in a tool window window, or just place the caret anywhere in the editor.

2. Press Alt0` or choose Navigate | Navigate To… from the main menu . Alternatively, you can press Ctrl0Q, start typing the command name in the popup, and then choose it there.

3. In the Navigate To list that appears, you will see all relevant navigation options.

4. Select an option from the list and click it or press Enter.

5. If the selected option has a single destination, JetBrains Rider will bring you there immediately, if there are several destination, another list will open providing you with the further choice. You can study one of the corresponding topics to learn more about the selected navigation option.

Where applicable, the Navigate To list includes general navigation features, specifically:

• Go to Declaration

• Go to Implementation

• Go to Usages of Symbol

• Go to Base Symbols

• Go to Derived Symbols

• Go to Type Declaration

• Locate in Solution Explorer

In addition, Navigate To extends the developer's toolset with a bunch of contextual navigation features that are not directly available from the Navigate menu:

• Assembly Explorer
• Control Flow Target
• Decompiled Sources
• Exposing APIs
• Consuming APIs
• Extension Methods
• Function Exits
• Generic Substitutions
• Implementing Members
• Member Overloads
• Metadata View
• Overriding Members
• Parameter Declaration
• Sources from Symbol Files
• Test Explorer and Tests Sessions
• TODO Explorer

tip

Whenever you execute a Navigate To action that highlights a set of symbols in the current file that are not entirely visible on the current screen, you can navigate to the highlights using the error stripe on the right. When you finish examining the usages, press Esc to remove the highlights.
