What I would like is to be able to see the defn of a symbol that is selected within the definition line above the source window. For example a object of some typedefed type

typedef sometemplate<type1,type2,type3> mytype;
...
mytype myvar;

Another Source/file


myvar.blah();


When you click on myvar it will display:
mytype myvar;

but I can't remember what mytype is.
It would be good if I could just click mytype within the defn line and somehow follow that into the defn of mytype without opening several files (in some cases). Perhaps double clicking the word? triple click? ;)

The HCB shows you the definition of mytype when you hover over myvar.

Also, placing the caret on 'myvar' and hitting Alt-G will take you to the definition of 'myvar'. Then, placing the caret on 'mytype' and hitting Alt-G will take you to the definition of 'mytype'.

As Larry says, the HCB does what you want.

You might also type "mytype" in your code and click on it. When done, delete the symbol. We do this typically for symbols nowhere in our code, ie we have nothing over which to hover.
