Editor Bar
for Visual Studio 2022

Introduction

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 displays the current file path and project name, enabling quick identification of files with similar or identical names (like launchSettings.json in every project or /Pages/Users/Edit.razor vs /Pages/Roles/Edit.razor).

In supported files, it also displays breadcrumbs for symbols or nodes up to the cursor position. This works for C# and VB.NET files, as well as nodes in XML documents. Additional formats will be supported in future updates.
