How can I turn off Visual Studio 2013 Preview? [duplicate]

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19913313

Question

When I want to search files I use Ctrl+,. The search box pops up and then I start typing. But the built-in preview just grabs whatever I have typed and opens the file. Even though I am still typing.

I am trying to open a file called report_vaccine, but I only get as far as report when the preview opens the first selected report. This has rendered this form of quick file searching pretty much useless, which is frustrating because we have hundreds of procs, and scrolling through and manually finding the file is a huge pain.

If there is a way to turn off preview, I would be fine with that. This command working properly is waaay more important to me than a preview of the file to be opened.

I don't have resharper. I think the command was like Ctrl+Shift+t.

Was it helpful?

Solution

From the menu go to Tools -> Options then navigate to Environment -> Tabs and Windows and uncheck the Preview Tab checkboxes.

I like showing screenshots, helps digest the info just a little faster :)

This is faster: toggle file preview within the Solution Explorer tool-window:
