Did you know... You can use Ctrl+Shift+F12 to view the next Error listed in the error list - #181

In the General Development Settings, the keyboard binding is Ctrl+Shift+F12, so your mileage may vary depending on which settings you are using.  You can go to Tools - Options - Keyboard to figure it out.

The command is View.NextError.  I'm a little surprised that there isn't a default keyboard shortcut for View.PreviousError.  You can always add one yourself.

And of course, the status bar tries to be helpful by showing you the error you have navigated to.  =)

Hm, I usually just use F8.  I think F8 depends on what list is actually highlighted, though (e.g. Errors, Find Symbol, etc).

I usually use F8, but sometimes F8 != ctrl + shift + F12.

F8 cycle through every entry in the output window (the errors and the errors' related locations). The related locations not real errors.

For example you have a method and many overrides for it. You misstyped the method signature: You get a CS1501 (no overload) error, and many related location for it. F8 show you the error, and after that cycles through each method definitions (related location), ctrl+shift+f12 shows only the error.
