Visual Sidekick Tour - File Browser

File Browser

Visual Sidekick's File Browser displays all files across the solution and their containing symbols.

  • Substring-search on any file name to quickly find any file in the solution or within the set of 3rd party library files.
  • Activate the selected file in the Visual Studio editor with a single keypress or double-click.
  • Jump to a file's "associated file" e.g. the .h file for a .cpp file, or an .inl file for a .h file with a simple keypress or double-click.
  • Browse the symbols inside the file by simply expanding the file's children in the browse tree.
  • Understand the file's context via the project-folder path that is displayed next to the file.
