Go to Declaration

Go to Declaration

Jumps the editor caret to the declaration of the symbol represented by a Structure-tree node. Reach for it when you are browsing the Structure outline and want to land on where a symbol is declared, without first clicking into the editor.

Reaching it in the IDE

This is a RIGHT-CLICK action, not a main-menu item. Menu path: "Structure form (right-click a tree node)".

To reach it: open the Structure form first (drag-lint > Show Structure), then right-click a node in the tree and choose "Go to Declaration".

Running it from the CLI

No CLI equivalent - this is an editor navigation action.

What it needs

Not needed. The feature map marks this row's Index column "n/a" and its Mechanism "in-process" -- it does not shell out to the CLI or query an index database.

Example

Illustrative: with the Structure form open and showing the current unit, right-click the node for TMyForm.ButtonClick and choose "Go to Declaration". The editor jumps to the line where TMyForm.ButtonClick is declared.
