Description Ketan Padegaonkar CLA 2008-03-04 06:17:15 EST 
Build ID: 3.3M5

Steps To Reproduce:
The keybindings CTRL+SHIFT+T or CTRL+SHIFT+R are really good to navigate around in code and resources.

It would be great if there's a shortcut to navigate to any arbitrary method/field declaration using some similar keystroke.

In the current implementation one has to go to Java search and fill in the method/field name click a few options and hit search, which is very cumbersome.

IntelliJ has this feature that I miss very much. A screenshot is available here: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/search_replace.html#link4

We have no plans for this at the moment. But I agree that it would be nice to experiment with that. A good idea for a external plug-in.

As I mentioned in bug 316027, in CDT, "Open Type" is replaced with
"Open Element" which can search through classes, methods, variables, etc. I think this would be better than to have separate dialogs.
