Well, title says all.
Press CTRL button and click on any variable/function…
I just found this coooool feature of Simba. :spot:

:surprised:

Thanks for sharing this, I didn't know this either!
I'm used to search for the function in the functionlist and then double-click it.. But this is much easier :D

Glad someone is using it :)
It's something I use pretty often. It's been in there for quite some time, though ;)

been using this forever, it's awesome!

So is your new thing to find threads about features in Simba and then link back to when you put them in? :)

Why? You got any links I should see? ;)

No, I've just seen you do it a couple times in the past couple of days ;)

Wow! Even I never knew! I'd manually scroll/navigate to and open the file I though the function was in, this is extremely useful thanks!

I figured out about this on accident when I first started scripting, now I use it all the time :)

This really surprised me that you didn't know about it O_O

This is really cool :) kind of disappointed that I can't see the source for stuff like FindColorsSpiralTolerance etc though

Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice:

I think he meant in the actual CTRL menu

Haha, thanks BB. But I was indeed referring to the CTRL menu :)

The best type of menu like the ctrl one I've seen is from bluefish: http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/index.html

I'm not sure how hard/easy that is to do but when you go over a function in php for example it has a crap load of information about the function & examples of how to use them etc.. maybe an implementation of the docs in the future or something

I've always used this since its inception.

I use this to be honest, I found it by pure accident to :)

I never knew about this. I always just clicked on the functions from the left side.

I dont get it, I press ctrl and hover the text in a script but the word I hover just go blue ?

program bla;

function add(a, b: Integer): Integer;
begin
  Result := a + b;
end;

var
  c: Integer;

begin
  c := add(10, 15); 
end.

control + click add at the bottom will bring you to the declaration on line 3. Control + click c on the bottom will bring you to c: Integer;

Wow this is like so boss I never knew about this

You gotta click it when it's highlighted

Im glad it helped you all. :D

I am really surprised that a lot of you guys didn't know this. This increased my workflow heavily. :)

Amazing, great tip!
