Where did "Search everywhere" limited to current file go?
I just upgraded to the 2025.1.2 version and I can't find the search function that used to be linked to the shortcut alt+\. It was kind of similar to “search everywhere” (double-shift), just that it was limited to the current file. I used it so frequently that I'm currently smashing alt+\ so often that I almost cannot do my coding. The double-shift function is great, but sometimes when you know the context it's so much quicker with alt+\ and ctrl+f and “file structure” just isn't quick enough.
What happened to this search function? Double-shift and alt+\ where two of the main reasons I could code so much faster in Rider compared to Visual Studio.

Hello Espen Graff Berglie,
It looks like you are looking for Navigate→File Member action it is bound to
Alt+\in default Visual Studio or Visual Assist keymaps. If you are using ReSharper keymap, this action is bound toCtrl+F12by default.You can switch your keymap or rebind this action under Settings | Keymap.
Thanks for the hint. Yes, it's Navigate→File Member I was looking for! I am using Visual Studio keymap, but when pressing Alt+\ it doesn't work. However, if I change to Resharper keymap and use Ctrl+F12 it's all fine. So something's up with the Visual Studio keymap. At least then I know that the feature is not removed. That's good news. Not really sure about the differences of those two keymaps. Maybe I can just switch without too much problems.
I finally found the problem! I was using the Github copilot extension and the copilot function “Show completions” was also assign to Alt+\. After removing the “Show completions”-shortcut everything's back to normal!
