Finding All references of a method in Vs 2008

Once again I am sharing some of the productivity features i have been discovering as I am starting to play more and more with Vs 2008. Not sure if this feature that i am about to discuss was already there is vs 2005 or is simply new to vs 2008. Anyway, in a large code base when I are modifying a method, I am always curious to know how many places in the code this method is being used and to be able to breeze through all the references for the method and get an idea of the context its being used. Pressing SHIFT + F12 will open up reference list window that show you all the reference links where this method is being called. Simply pressing F8 would allow you to navigate to each reference of the method in the list.  Below is a screen shot that shows the feature.
