- 2 minutes to read
This example shows how to change the Ctrl+Shift+Q shortcut to open the Jump to Symbol window with a custom filter. This filter allows you to find code symbols of a specific kind (for example, methods, properties, etc). You can also use other parameters for this filter (for example, access modifier and scope). CodeRush applies the filter when you type a symbol’s name or a part of it in the search field of the Jump to Symbol window.
You can also create custom shortcuts that open the Jump to Symbol window with different filters.
Follow the steps below.
