Editor Bar is a Visual Studio 2022 extension designed to simplify your coding workflow by providing clear and intuitive breadcrumbs for effortless navigation.
The extension shows the current file path and project name, enabling quick identification of files with similar or identical names (e.g. launchSettings.json or /Pages/Users/Edit.razor vs /Pages/Roles/Edit.razor).
It now also displays breadcrumbs for the internal structure of your code, allowing easy navigation to types, methods, and members in C# and VB.NET files, or nodes in XML documents. Additional formats and features will be supported in future updates.
