F12 finds all references, not go to definition

Question

Lately my F12 key does not seem to be working as expected in Visual Studio 2010 Professional SP1. It should go to the definition of what is selected, but instead it\'s performin

Answer 1

I experienced this exact misbehavior today with VC++ 2013: pressing F12 was no longer jumping to a method's definition, but was instead showing a list of references to that method.

Turns out IntelliSense is required in order for the command Edit.GoToDefinition to work, which I had disabled this morning. Setting Tools>Options>Text editor>C/C++>Advanced>IntelliSense> Disable IntelliSense back to False fixed the problem.
