For C# projects, I would like to have the F12 "Go to Definition" shortcut key to open the Object Browser and select the type under the cursor position. This is the behavior for VB.NET projects, which I really like. I think the Object Browser is more helpful than IntelliSense in some cases. I really do not need a text representation of the metadata.

How do I duplicate the F12 / "Go to Definition" functionality in a C# project?
Is there a different shortcut key for C#?

I am not talking about the Alt+Ctrl+J shortcut key that displays the Object Browser.
