MonoDevelop "search document outline" shortcut

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Hey guys.

In Eclipse, there is a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + O) to open up a search window for what is in your current file. You begin typing in the name of your property or method and it shows it with the signature (see picture below).

Is there such a keyboard shortcut in MonoDevelop? The closest thing I found is a shortcut that opens up the Document Outline, which shows all of your properties and methods for the current file, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to search it.

Thanks!

You can jump to an item in the current workspace by using Navigate To. You can set a key binding for it in Options → Key Bindings → Navigate To…. I think the default binding is CMD + Period. While this shows all methods and properties in the workspace, not only in the current file, it’s still much closer to what you’re searching for than the document outline.

I think you would have to make a feature request to MonoDevelop.

I'm looking for the same feature. I would be happy to vote for such a feature, as would any former or current users of Visual Assist, I imagine.

Please make this feature Monodevelop! It's so hard to jump from method to method with the current find function.
