Description Vladimir Voskresensky 2009-01-31 17:20:37 UTC

current Ctrl+mouse operation go to declaration
we (C++) need operation for "alternative" go to declaration, i.e. Alt+mouse 

Usecase:
- Now, when macro is hovered in code (Ctrl+mouse) => it's "#define " text is displayed and hyperlink goes into #define 
- for alternative hyperlink type (Alt+mouse) => macro expansion is shown in tooltip and hyperlink jumps into "Macro
Expansion View"

Could be used for Java as well: 
- tooltip for class could show "extends/implements" info
- hyperlink jumps into "Declaration View"

Thanks,
Vladimir.

Comment 3 Vladimir Voskresensky 2009-02-09 14:19:02 UTC

I'd like to ask to review small enhancement. It's binary and source compatible change.
Still the question
VV1: what is best name for new enum constant. 
I've created patch with GO_TO_ALT_DECLARATION, but now think about ALT_HYPERLINK as name for alternative hyperlink name,
because don't want to tie it with "declaration"

Comment 4 Vitezslav Stejskal 2009-02-10 08:54:24 UTC

The patch looks ok. I'm not sure about the name either, but GO_TO_ALT_DECLARATION sounds really weird. In no better name
comes up ALT_HYPERLINK could work. Thanks

Comment 5 Vladimir Voskresensky 2009-02-15 10:17:30 UTC

if no objections, I will integrate tomorrow with ALT_HYPERLINK
