I am using Visual Studio 2002 C++. I really miss named bookmarks that were available in Visual C++6.
Why not make this part of Visual Assist since Microsoft is too stupid to do this now?
Is there some way to easily go to a section of code without searching for a name?
By the way, it seems that Tasks are really screwed up. If I add a task, it duplicates itself many
times until I have thousands which are a first class pain to delete.

when you add a task, does this duplicate tasks problem occur if VAX is disabled? i don't have VS 2002 on hand to test with at the moment, but adding a task to VS 2003 with VAX 1418 works fine.

do you have any other plugin's installed? i can install VS 2002 if needed to try and reproduce this. do you see this problem in more than one project?

with regard to moving around the code, what sort of thing are you after? are you trying to go to a function or class definition? move up and down the file one function at a time? if you are trying to move to a random, undefined location then probably not.

i will ask about the named bookmarks. it is certainly an interesting idea, but off hand i don't recall it coming up recently.

my .suo file had grown to about 16 MB. I deleted it to get rid of the thousands of duplicate tasks.
The new .suo file is 10 KB with NO tasks. I think this is a visual studio problem.
I have a long WIn32 WinProc function with lots of case labels that I would like to goto
without searching.

if you find evidence that the duplicate tasks problem is related to VAX then i will setup at VS 2002 test system here, but i am not rushing to do so at the moment, since it is a certain amount of work.

by default the keyboard shortcut ALT_SHIFT_S will opens VAX FSIW (Find Symbol In Workspace) dialog. as you type in part of a function name in this dialog it filters down the list of known symbols. simply type in the name of the function you want to go to, use up and down to select it, and press enter to goto it.

i think this should do what you want. if the function is not local to your project then turn off the "show only symbols defined in the current workspace" checkbox.
