Enable Back and Forward Buttons in Visual Studio 2005
One of the features I used a lot in Visual Studio 2003 were the Back and Forward buttons for browsing in code. In situations where I’m tracing code down/up a call stack, I can click the Back/Navigate Backward or Forward/Navigate Forward buttons and my cursor jumps to the last place it was located in the code editor.
It seems these buttons aren’t enabled/showing by default in Visual Studio 2005, so I had to go hunting around for them.
- Click on Tools > Customize (or right-click a toolbar and choose Customize).
- Click the Commands tab.
- Choose the View category
- Find the Navigate Backward and Navigate Forward commands and drag them to a place on the toolbar.
Now you can browse your code!
