There should be a way to default whether to go to header definition or source if there are only two.
I constantly get the two options to go to the header file or the cpp file. I pretty much always want to go to the source. The only case I can think of is when I am in the source on the function, it is nice how it automatically toggles to the header (and vice-versa). |

| If you right click on a symbol in VS2008 you get two IDE commands, "Go To Definition" and "Go To Declaration". You can map a keyboard shortcut to either of these commands if you want, so instead of using VA's Alt-g command where VA asks where you want to go, you can just trigger the IDE "Go To Definition" command instead. |

| Feline, your answer doesn't seem appropriate. We use VAX for its correctness, performance and flexibility. GTD of VS doesn't work as smooth as VAX, and therefore I second to Derek for this. Alt+G should always goto to implementation, or provide 'Option' for this as such: Default (context menu), Goto Header or Goto Implementation. Users will select what they prefer. |

When you trigger alt-g, do you normally find that the implementation is the top, and thus default item? It is for me, at least for simple cases where there are only two items in the alt-g menu. If so Alt-g, Enter will get you to the implementation fairly reliably, without reading the menu.
Assuming we added this option, what about all the cases where there is something other than a simple 2 item menu? Template functions, overloaded functions, functions with no implementation at all. Sometimes VA will jump to the implementation, but sometimes it will either have to do nothing, or jump to the declaration. Other times VA will have to show you a menu, since there is more than one possible implementation. |
