December 24, 2007 - 3:14am Guest	Hi Is there a way (or a setup) to make the "Go to definition" function work? I mean, it would be really useful if right clicking on a variable or function or define, and selecting the Go to definition option, the ide could show the variable or define declaration, or the function code. I donÂ´t know the exact function of this option, since i try it and nothing happens. So i presume it was for that purpose. Thank you Kremer

It means that for now, a successful build of your project must be done before the functionality to work. To check if the list of symbols is updated, you can open the "Global Symbols" view. If it is empty, the functionality will not work. Lionel

You must select the entire word on the text editor window and then right click. I didnÂ´t realized that until start using the search function. By positioning the cursor on the word and hitting Ctrl+F, the search window pops up but with empty field. When you select a piece of text and hit the keys, the search window appears with the selected text. So this must be the same problem with the Go to definition feature. Thanks
