Quick way to “Go to Symbol” in SlickEdit?
« on: June 12, 2025, 08:04:11 AM »
Hi,

I’m looking for the SlickEdit equivalent of the “Go to Symbol” command (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+O in VS Code or Ctrl + R in Sublime Text).
Because file attachments aren’t allowed in the forum right now, here are reference links instead:
VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/editingevolved#_go-to-symbol
Sublime Text: https://docs.sublimetext.io/guide/usage/file-management/navigation.html#supported-operators

What’s the fastest way to achieve the same jump-to-symbol action in SlickEdit?

Thanks,
Bo

If you want to jump to the definition of a symbol, use the push_tag function which is typically bound to Ctrl-.

Thanks. I knew the Ctrl + . and Ctrl + , .
I mean something like the “Go to Symbol” command (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+O in VS Code).
Because I can't attach the screenshot, please refer to:
VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/editingevolved#_go-to-symbol

Ah. I misunderstood what you were referring to. I don't know of anything like that in SE. The Symbol Tool Window will allow you to browse for a symbol but without the quick filtering based what you type. The command activate-symbols-browser could be bound to a keyboard sequence to get you to that browser without using the mouse, at least.


Maybe someone else who is more familiar with the symbols tool window can help more.

Exactly, I mean "the quick filtering based what you type."
