Possible to click on a MACRO and jump to its definition?
-
I’d like to know if NotePad++ is able to be set as other programming editor, i.e. can I click (or other keyboard or mouse combination) over a macro or a variable and jump directly to its definition?
-
You mean like from the Macro menu, maybe ctrl+click an entry and it will open/switchto shortcuts.xml and go right to the start of the macro definition in that file? Currently not possible, but I applaud your creative thinking. :)
Or did you mean something totally different? In which case the applause is somewhat muted…

If you’re talking about clicking on an instance of a function (say, in a C source file) and going to that function’s definition in the same file … not directly. However, if you put your cursor on the function name and do
Ctrl+F, it will populate the search box with that function name. Or if you use the View > Function List feature, you can use the Function List sub-window as a “Table of Contents”, to allow you to quickly get to the right function definition.If you want to be in source_file.1 and find the definition in any of source_file.2 … source_file.###: unfortunately the Function List (to my knowledge) doesn’t allow you to cross file boundaries.

I think I was off-base in my interpretation…but I like the idea it generated! :)

Exactly this !!! Very useful where set. I use it in QtCreator and it makes easy my work.

One could do Find in Files or Find All in All Opened Documents for this…but isn’t this handled better by one of the “tagging” plugins (which I don’t use)?

It’s the only solution (at the moment…)
