MSDN Flash: Keyboard Visual Studio Tips & Tricks for Nov 17. 2007

Frequently, while browsing code, we want to drill down into a method to see the implementation and then jump back out again to continue browsing code at the caller. One invaluable keystroke for doing this is F12. Placing your cursor on any identifier, you can use F12 to drill into its declaration. This works both for types as well as their members. In fact, you can use the same keystroke to jump to the definition of types in the .NET Framework. This is a great way to browse through the type's members to see header information, including the documentation of the parameters. To jump back, you can use Ctrl+-. In this way you can navigate back and forth through your code.
