CodeRush Pro navigation features

August 2nd, 2010 Comments off

CodeRush Pro includes numerous powerful navigation features, such as:

Markers

Markers are navigation waypoints that remember important locations you’ll need to move to in the future. Collect Marker moves the caret to the topmost marker within the stack, and removes this marker (ESC key). Use the Alt+Home key combination to manually drop markers.

Bookmarks

CodeRush Pro enables you to mark important code locations you are going to move to in the future. This feature is provided by Bookmarks. To toggle a bookmark on a current cursor position, press Ctrl+Plus Sign. You can also toggle a bookmark with a certain identifier, if it is less then or equal to 9. To do this, press Ctrl+Alt+Number. After you toggled a bookmark, it exists until you delete it. That is, it will not be deleted if you close and reopen a solution containing the bookmark. The number of bookmarks contained in a solution is unlimited.
