Did you know you can use toolbar buttons on the Output Window to navigate between errors?

Also, assuming the Output Window is active of was the last active tool window, you can use F8 and SHIFT + F8 to navigate among the errors as well.  Here is what it looks like when I press F8 with the Output Window active:

If I continue pressing F8 it will iterate over all the errors in the window.  Also, as you go though the errors, the Editor will place the cursor in the area where the error occurred.  You could DOUBLE CLICK any error and it will take you to the error in the Editor as well.  The best part with using F8 is you don't have to leave your keyboard.  So you get the build error dialog:

Then, if the Output Window isn't active, press CTRL + ALT + O to make the window active then press F8 to get to your error:

The cursor in the Editor automatically follows you as you go through the errors, places the cursor where you can make changes so you just start typing, AND has a neat little indicator to show where you are currently at in the Margin:

Try it yourself this feature rocks! :)

    Not it doesn't "rock" as you can't skip to errors instead of warnings...it jumps to the NEXT MESSAGE
