When a compile fails in VB.NET in Visual Studio 2008, an Error List pops up at the bottom of the screen. To jump to an error, I double click on an error in the error list.

Is there a shortcut to automatically jump to the next error in the list? It gets a little bit tedious at times having to reach down and double click a list that I like to keep collapsed.

F8 (and Shift+F8 to go backwards).

Or at least that's what it is in my keyboard profile - you can go to tools\options\environment\keyboard and check out Edit.GoToNextLocation.

Note If you configured Visual Studio using VB keyboard settings, no key has been assigned to this function. You need to pick your own and assign them.
