Adding Ctrl-Click "Go to Definition" Support for Visual Studio 2015

Question

Earlier, using Visual Studio 2013, I would use the amazing extension from Noah Richards , which would add Ctrl-Click as a shortcut to Go To Definition, but it did not update the extension for compatibility with VS2015. And as far as I know, VS2015 does not provide any default feature for this feature.

Answer 1

So, here is how I fixed it.

• First download the Noah Richard extension: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/4b286b9c-4dd5-416b-b143-e31d36dc622b

• Save the .vsix file somewhere on your computer

• Open the file with Winzip / Winrar or similar (this is just a masked ZIP file so you can change the extension to .zip)
• Open extension.vsixmanifest in a text editor
• Add the following lines to the <SupportedProducts>...</SupportedProducts> line:

<VisualStudio Version="14.0"> <Edition>Pro</Edition> </VisualStudio>

6. Update the zip file with the modified file and return it to the .vsix file.
7. Double-click the .vsix button and install.

Answer 2

Install Performance Power Tools 2015 .
