Did you know… You can use F12 in the Object Browser to go to the definition of whatever’s selected? - #222

On the context menu of both the Member Pane (right panel) and the Object Pane (left panel), you’ll see the Go To Definition command.  You can use this command to navigate directly into the code where whatever you have selected is defined (or you’ll get a nice error message).

In the General Development Settings, the Edit.GoToDefinition command is bound to F12.   Pressing F12 in the image above will take us to where the bar function is defined.
