Jump to definitions similar to what vi/vim does with CTAGs, and/or do an OpenGrok search for the term, which would be extremely powerful, and something you might want to consider as a leading edge feature in some soon release ;-) > There are many ways to accomplish this. :-) > > I'm feeling better already > BBEdit already has ctags lookup built in (try right-clicking on > something that's been colored with the ctags color, or select it and use "Find Definition" on the Search menu). > Does it work over sftp?

Fortunately in my current gig/dev modality I can instead NFS share the code tree and edit over NFS instead of SFTP so may try that. > > There's also Dash support for "Find in Reference", as well as > the "reference URL" (which can be configured per-language in the > Preferences. Hmmmmmmmm I missed that. Is that my ticket to OpenGrok lookups? Only problem there is that OpenGrok has different search types "Full Search", "Definition", "Symbol", ... so being limited to a single URL might be a bit limiting. > You could also write a macOS "Service", which will then appear > on the contextual menu (BBEdit 12 and later) which does whatever > you need. > Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
