Source Code Navigation

[Robo Tron]

How can I navigate to another object's definition without using the Object Browser?

I'd think there would be an option when you do a right click on a procedure that would allow you to do that (like "Browse Source" or something).

You can use the "ed" or "browse" commands from command window or Ctrl+click on object names depending on what exactly you want.

I keep getting "Function not valid for a procedure". But this is not good anyway because it is not easy to use. It's easier for me to use Object Browser. I need something that enables me to navigate while reading the code.

Ctrl+click on object names depending on what exactly you want.

But when I do Ctrl+click it takes me to package spec, not body. I need implementation, not signatures.

Use the secondary (right for right handed) mouse button when clicking.

God, am I a noob. Thank you.

So, how do I get back to where I was in the code when I did the ctl-right-click?

I am using version 8.0.4

thank you.

By closing the new window?

T-Gergely,
When I do ctl-right-click I do not have a new window open up. I am in the body of a package and the ctl-right-click just takes me to another spot in the body - I want to return to where I did the ctl-right-click.

And, yes, I could place a bookmark, then ctl-right-click and when I want to return I could right click and select goto bookmark and then the last bookmark, but that is so 20th century!

I see. Alt+left works for me just like in some other IDE's.

(But it's not ctrl+right-click, but ctrl+left-click that navigates inside a package body in my version with right handed mouse.)

 

[ScottMattes]

Now I see also, thank you T-Gergely!

first, I did mean ctl-left click.

second, the alt-left works for me.

and, knowing the alt-left, I see that under Tools / Preferences / Key Configuration using the System Default settings that alt-left/right are bound to Editor: Navigate Back/Forward.

I also notice the two buttons on my toolbar has those two Navigates bound to buttons!

I guess that I have finally woken up.

Again, thank you!

Marco,
Is it possible to modify the right click menus in the latest version of PLSD?

I'd like to put favorite actions, like navigate backward/forward, goto bookmark and others on one or more right click menus.
