F12 no longer works in Visual Studio

Question

This is driving me crazy. Ever since I installed ReSharper 4, F12 no longer seems to work. If you look at the all the ReSharper short cuts in the Goto sub menu Declar

Answer 1

I have had a few occasions where Resharper and Visual Studio keybindings got mixed up and I had problems sorting them out.

If it is only one or two bindings you care about then you can change them by going to the

Tools->Customize->Keyboard menu option.

Answer 2

I ran into the same issue and resolved it by first resetting my Visual Studio keyboard mappings:

Tools > Options > Keyboard > Reset

Then going into the ReSharper options and applying the scheme:

Resharper > Options > Visual Studio Integration > Apply Scheme

Update:

For VS2017 onwards:

Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard > Reset

For Resharper 2017.2:

Resharper > Options > Environment > Keyboard & Menus > Keyboard Shortcuts > Apply Scheme

Answer 3

I had this issue in VS2015 using Resharper 9.1.3, I tried Ryan's answer but it still didn't work.

• After doing the steps Ryan outlined, I clicked F12 where Resharper asks What do you want to do?, I select Use Visual Studio commands. Still doesn't work.
• Tools > Options > Keyboard > Select ReSharper.ReSharper_GotoNextHighlight from command list box
• Change Shortcuts for selected command to F12 (Text Editor), click Remove and OK.

After this it works!

Answer 4

It is possible that you have enabled Fn mode (Blue Keys) on your keyboard which overrides default behavior of functional keys including F12.

Answer 5

Update 2020. I had the same problem and also tried a lot of ways, but that was still didn't working... [VS 2015, ReSharper 2019.3.1] But, like Andrius said: Resharper -> Options -> Environment -> General -> Clear Caches. This needs VS to be restarted, but then it started working as expected.

Summary is: (try steps above) + Resharper..-> Clear Caches + VS restart. Hope this will be useful

Answer 6

Try simple way to enable it, press Fn + Esc key of the keyboard.
