Visual Assist X is a VS plugin that everyone I know seems to have pre-installed wherever they work. It allows things like jump to file/symbol using a keyboard shortcut and fuzzy search. I imagine there's equivalent with vim, etc, but I also don't see how a terminal could be better/faster.
Most navigation is done using keyboard shortcuts, but I can use the mouse to click around menus if I forget where something is.
- jdright 8y agoI'm in gamedev too, I basically do debugging for living with eventual actual development. Visual Assist X is terrible and extremely slow. Also, it is a clutch, showing one of the biggest weak points of Visual Studio. I use it in a daily basis for more than 7 years, and I just hate it. VS is such a mixed box of feelings, it is so bad for most of it but then there is a very good debugger, arguably the only thing holding VS alive. I would prefer to switch to a better text based IDE or even vscode and use windbg, if it wasn't for co-workers with Stockholm syndrome that can't see how bad their tools are.
