If I place the cursor on myObject and press Alt+G it jumps to the beginning of that line. This doesn't make much sense to me. Imho VA should take me to the declaration/definition of the constructor.
Currently this is by design, since myObject is a variable, and this is where the variable is defined. To jump to this specific constructor would require VA to understand which function this is, which requires matching the parameters, and dealing with default parameters. There are plans to enhance alt-g to handle these, but these are longer term plans.
I understand, why it's working that way. Anyway, this behavior isn't of any help. Moreover, I have no option to jump to a constructor. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It would even be helpful if VA would jump to any constructor of the corresponding class, because constructors are always grouped in the code I work on. But, of course, your longer term plan sounds even better! So, please make it one of your most important longer term plans
