[severity:I'm unable to use this version] [regression] [worked-in:17.11]
Go to any class that inherits another one, press ctrl+f12 on it: it shows the references window instead of going into the implementation of the inherited class. Right click "go to implementation" shows the same behaviour. After re-setting the key-binding, it still shows the same behaviour.

Thank you for taking the time to log this issue!
This may be by design. You can double click in the Find Symbol Results window and will going into the specify implementation of the inherited class. Details see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/navigating-code?view=vs-2022#go-to-implementation.
If you still have questions, please describe in detail what results you expect and what the actual results are.

I might be wrong, but this is not how I remember it. Ctrl+F12 now does exactly the same thing as Shift+F12. If you review the reproduction steps, you will also see the “Find All References” window opens on the left.
I understand we also have Ctrl+Home, which would show all the base-classes; but I would honestly expect Ctrl+F12 to step directly into the base-class itself, like it still does with other code: it goes directly into the implementation of the element I use Ctrl+F12 on.
