Checkout the source code.
In another blog post, I created a midi keyboard soundboard. When I’m navigating through a larger codebase, I thought it’s neat to have buttons to navigate to bookmarks. That’s why I decided to upgrade the existing soundboard project. The following midi pad is used (see picture below):
Instead of playing sounds, I used System.Windows.Forms.SendWait() to send keystrokes to the computer. These keystrokes maps to the resharper bookmarks. In this case, ctrl +
Using the application, navigating through code is more intuitive. Instead of going back- and forward all the time, use bookmarks. It’s easy to toggle a bookmark: just double-tap a button. A single tap will navigate to the particular bookmark.
I used my application for a week now, and it’s working for me: most of the times I know exactly where to navigate in a large codebase. Having bookmarks getting there is just a lot easier.
Fun fact: other applications also use ctrl +
