How to "Go to definition" of a function using Visual Assist?


I am using Visual Assist for last couple of months. Alt+G is very useful and fast in finding definition of anything under cursor.

But I am not able to figure out how to Go to definition by manually putting the function-name or class-name as text input (as we do while searching using Ctrl+Shift+F or Ctrl+,).

What I am doing right now is using Ctrl+Shift+F and trying to look for definition from the long list of string search result. :(

I hope my requirement is clear.


Solution

  • Thanks to the Whole Tomato Software support team, I got the answer upon raising a ticket.

    Keyboard shortcut to "Go To Definition" with text input is:

    Alt+Shift+S

    It is very fast and accurate.

    To get an exact or strict match, use .symbolname. as text-input in Find Symbol prompt.
