ADCode

Go to definition and references

Click a name to see where it was made, or to see everywhere else it is used. A small preview opens under the line so you do not lose your place.

When you would want it

It is the difference between reading code and searching it. Following a function to its body is the single most common thing anybody does in an unfamiliar project.

Where to find it

  • All Features → Go to definition and references
  • Settings → adcode.navigation.goToDefinition

How to use it, step by step

  1. Click a name for the preview, click the preview's title or Ctrl+click the name to go there properly, and Escape to close.
  2. ADCode tells you how it found the answer: 'resolved' means a language server worked it out for certain, and 'matched by name' means ADCode found things with the same name - which is usually right and is not a promise.

Why this beats the usual way

Fast navigation is the feature paid IDEs advertise and free editors approximate. ADCode treats fuzzy open, symbol search, and go-to-definition as core paths, tuned to work from the first launch with no indexing wait and no plugin hunt.
