vscode-goto-next-previous-member

Visual Studio Code Extension to navigate through the functions, variables, and classes using quick and easy keycommands similar to functionality provided by IntelliJ IDE's (next/previous function) or Resharper (next/previous member)

Features

This Extension provides two key commands to navigate up and down through the members in your file.

Requirements

• vscode@1.28.0+
• Works in both VS Code Desktop and code-server environments

Commands and Settings

Commands

This extension provides the following commands that can be used in keyboard shortcuts:

Command	Description	Default Shortcut
gotoNextPreviousMember.previousMember	Move To Previous Member	ctrl+up
gotoNextPreviousMember.nextMember	Move To Next Member	ctrl+down

You can customize these commands in your keybindings.json to target specific symbol types. For example:

{
    "key": "ctrl+shift+up",
    "command": "gotoNextPreviousMember.previousMember",
    "args": ["function", "method"]
}

Settings

This extension provides the following settings that can be configured in your settings.json:

1. gotoNextPreviousMember.symbolKinds (default: [] - all symbols included)

   • An array of symbol types to include when navigating
   • When empty or not set, all symbol types are included
   • Example setting:

   {
       "gotoNextPreviousMember.symbolKinds": ["function", "class", "method"]
   }
   

   Available symbol types:

   Symbol Kind
   "array"
   "boolean"
   "class"
   "constant"
   "constructor"
   "enum"
   "enummember"
   "event"
   "field"
   "file"
   "function"
   "interface"
   "key"
   "method"
   "module"
   "namespace"
   "null"
   "number"
   "object"
   "operator"
   "package"
   "property"
   "string"
   "struct"
   "typeparameter"
   "variable"

2. gotoNextPreviousMember.selectEntireSymbol (default: false)

   • Determines whether to select the entire symbol when navigating
   • Example setting:

   {
       "gotoNextPreviousMember.selectEntireSymbol": true
   }
   

   • When true: The entire symbol will be selected when navigating
   • When false: Only the cursor will be moved to the start of the symbol

3. gotoNextPreviousMember.symbolPosition (default: "center")

   • Controls where the symbol appears in the viewport when navigating
   • Possible values:
     • "top": Position the symbol at the top of the viewport
     • "center": Position the symbol in the center of the viewport
     • "bottom": Position the symbol at the bottom of the viewport
   • Example setting:

   {
       "gotoNextPreviousMember.symbolPosition": "top"
   }
   

Language Support

For the outline to work, the language support plugins need to support symbol information.

For the outline to form a tree structure, the language support plugins need to report the entire definition range as part of symbol.

See VS Code [issue #34968](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/34968) and language server protocol [issue #132](https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/132) for a discussion.

Here is a list of languages known to work with Code Outline:

Language/Format	Extension
C	C/C++
C++	C/C++, cquery
Docker	Docker
HTML	Comes with VS Code
JavaScript	Comes with VS Code
JSON	Comes with VS Code
Markdown	Comes with VS Code
ruby	Ruby Symbols
Perl	Perl
PHP	PHP Symbols
Python	Python
TypeScript	Comes with VS Code
YAML	YAML Support by Red Hat

Please report any missing extensions and I'll update the list.

Known Issues

If you are experiencing no movement upon running the command:

I have observed an issue with the Visual Studio API to return symbols from vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider. One way I have found to possibly fix the issue is to disable all extensions, restart Visual Studio and then enable all extensions and restart again.
