Did you know… Ctrl+K, Ctrl+v allows you to quickly search for objects within your solution? - #361

Another good keyboard shortcut many don’t know about. I only say that because I forgot all about this one until now…

There is a command called View.ClassViewGoToSearchCombo which does exactly as it says.

When you press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+V, wherever you are in the IDE, your focus will jump to the Class View search combo box, so you can just start typing and searching immediately.

That's a nice one. But I still like the object browser more (CTRL+ALT+J).

Just like class view it not only shows all the matching classes but clicking on the class name brings up all the methods, member variables, overloaded operators etc. on the right side frame.

What's more it tells if it is a private, public or protected.
