Features for VC6
Navigate Back and Forward
Navigate backward and forward in your code much like you do with an Internet browser. Navigate to previous locations in your code, and forward again to your most current location.Navigation using the commands in Visual Assist X occurs across files. For example, navigating back after switching from file A to file B returns you to file A.
By default, use Alt+Left to navigate backward and Alt+Right to navigate forward. (Requires unassigning of Edit.CompleteWord in Microsoft Visual Studio.)
Versus Commands in the IDE
Microsoft Visual Studio has built-in navigation commands similar to those in Visual Assist X. The built-in versions navigate within a file, not across files. If you navigate to a previous location just after jumping from file A to file B, you move to the last location visited inside file B.
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 has no built-in navigation commands, and the versions in Visual Assist X appear in the default toolbar.
Shortcut Assignments
Navigate using toolbar buttons or shortcut assignments. If not assigned to any other commands, Alt+Left and Alt+Right navigate per the commands in Visual Assist X.Default mapping schemes in Microsoft Visual Studio assign Alt+Right to Edit.CompleteWord. If you want Alt+Right to navigate forward, you must remove the default assignment. You do not need to make any other assignments.
