One of the best features most Internet browsers have is the ability to navigate backwards, and forwards, through your history of Web site pages you have visited. Don’t you wish you had this feature in Visual Studio? Well, you do. Here’s how you do it.

One option is to go to Visual Studio’s View menu and choose either Navigate Forward or Navigate Backward. An even more handy method is to use the following keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl + – and Ctrl + Shift + –.

One cool thing about the way Visual Studio does this is that it will navigate backwards through different parts of Visual Studio, everything from forms you’ve open to code you’ve worked, and more.
