I know you can press Ctrl + R to find the Defition/Declaration of the function but how do you go back. Say you have a function and you want to know where it was used.
You can do normal search like name( and then it shows up But.. if name is minified then searching A( is less helpful and sometimes there is space A ( wont be matched.
Also i could write regex every time but that's tedious and unproductive.
Just like there is a way to find where was the function defined there should be a way to highlight and go through each invocation of that function.. so basically search functionality in revers.
Simply use: CTRL + Shift + F
Also, third-party packages are available for Sublime. Try WhoCalled.
The answer is that Sublime Text cannot "go to usages". It is not an Intellisense-type IDE. It's not like working with NetBeans or Visual Studio, where it indexes all usages and function calls in the background and allows you to traverse them.
The best you can do is a simple text search (or regex), and limit the files searched by type or directory.
Or you can use a plugin from the Sublime Text community - though I've found such plugins to be non-functional or buggy, or not quite what you asked for.
The best option seems like what you've indicated you are already using - use a different IDE.

I have a large corpus of ES6 code. A search returns all occurences of a string or regular expression, but I'd like an option that will either show or hide hits within comments. Atom can already parse the language enough to discern code vs comments, so it shouldn't be much of a stretch to make search results sensitive to code, comments or both.
Does anyone know if a plugin to enable this behavior already exists? I can't seem to find it if it does, and if I get the urge to write it, I don't want to just be spinning wheels.
I've been trying to think of a better way to title this question, but unfortunately I have no idea how to explain it. Also I haven't found this on stack overflow (for the same reason stated above).
In Eclipse, I used to Ctrl+Click in the name of a method call (in java). And my cursor would jump in to the definition of my method function.
Question 1: Does anyone know the name of this behavior? I mean, maybe it's called function jumping or something like that.
Also I was searching for a plugin like this in Atom editor. Because I've tried to use this a lot of times (bad habits) and didn't work.
Question 2: Name of the plugin to do this in Atom?
Don't know if it helps, but I'm coding in JavaScript at the moment in Atom editor.
As the other answer noted, alt-click over a method/function name can jump you directly to where it was originally defined. It works within the same file, but it doesn't seem to work across files.
The closest Atom editor package I've found for javascript which allows you to jump to function/method definitions across files is called TernJS.
Once installed, you can use ctrl-shift-r over the word (function/method, variable etc) to bring up a list of where that method/function is defined (includes line # & filepath). You can then click on the list item & it will jump you to the definition.
Here is a video I made containing an example of using this atom package.

To answer your first question this 'behavior' is knows as 'go to definition', or 'jump to definition'.
To answer your second question some packages you could perhaps take a look at would be,
'goto-definition'
'code-peek'
I find these help a bit but still don't achieve the standards that I would fully like. I wanted something similar to the Intellij IDEA ctrl + click.
I find myself using the ctrl + shift + f to search the entire project for the related files of the thing I'm searching for. Then I find the particular file i'm looking for and shazam! I've got what I came to get. This particular method works best for me.
I know its not exactly what your looking for but this is the best thing I've found so far to achieve something similar to what we both seem to be looking for. Hope this helps a bit,
happy coding...
Currently this behavior is blocked by multiple cursors feature.
The closest you can get is "ctrl-alt-shift-d" + atom-ternjs
try atom/navigate

It helps you to do this excact thing.
The only thing is that it's default key is f2 instead of cltr+click
But this is also editable in the package settings in de .atom file
I don't think I have a package for that.
Simply ctrl-D goes to definition for me.
Tried by luck after reading here other methods.
Cheers.
In Atom (1.57.0 version, os Ubuntu 18.04) command ctrl+shift+f is doing project-find:show. (try cmd+shift+f if on mac and the above does not work)
First select a function name in a file within a project, click ctrl+shift+f, and a list of files from your project folder, that also have this function (either defined, or used) should appear.
Click on any of these files, to come back to the list use ctrl+tab. I can see in key-bindings that this command project-find:show, is bound to ctrl+shift+f, and I have used it, but I am not sure if this is from one of the packages, or not. (sorry new to atom)
Moving from InDesign to Acrobat now, I need to automate a very simple task. I'll eventually use BridgeTalk to have an InDesign script call Acrobat X and have it do a couple of simple things. To this end I've been reading up on how to script Acrobat. Unfortunately, it does not seem anywhere as simple as scripting InDesign or Illustrator.
For one thing, the ExtendScript Toolkit is now useless since Acrobat has a built-in "Javascript Console". This would be perfectly fine, except that my console seems to be completely broken. Once I launched it (and it was hellacious just trying to figure that out), I type in a simple 3 + 4 in the console and press Command+Enter, as noted in Thom Parker's guide on AcrobatUsers. (I don't have a fancy Mac extended keyboard with a numeric keypad, so I have to use Command+Enter.)
Nothing happens.
I've tried other things, such as selecting the code first, pressing Control+Enter instead, using a different line of code such as console.println("Hello.");, etc. Nothing I do seems to work. What am I doing wrong?
Finally got my question answered over on Adobe's forums. I thought I had tried everything, but it turns out that I had not even tried a simple Shift + Enter. Hard to believe, since I thought I'd tried every possible key combination already, but I cannot deny the facts. Since I only had the small Apple keyboard without the numeric keypad, I suppose this is the only way to get Enter instead of Return from that key. At any rate, the answer is now known!
It seems to be command-return on MacOS 10.13.6 But thanks for the hint above.
I have two questions:
While editing a source file, it's very convenient to be able to label the current position of cursor and then jump to it later by somehow calling that label. I VIM, there is the marking notion, but I'm not aware of such possibility in Eclipse text editor.
Is there any way in Eclipse to add a portion of the code to the outline window, such that you can easily jump to that part when you click on it? I know that for java source-code, almost all variables and functions are shown there, but what if I have a html/javascript code, in which I'm using jquery functions, and the outline doesn't show these functions.
Any help is appreciated!
I dont have any direct answers for your question.
May be you are looking for the following eclipse features.
Eclipse supports bookmarks, you may use that feature. Also CTRL + Q will go back to the last edited location.
You may be able to get this using the Mylyn, which is packaged along with eclipse by default. Implements the notion of a Task focussed IDE ( RECOMMENDED)
Has anyone else found VIM's syntax highlighting of Javascript sub-optimal? I'm finding that sometimes I need to scroll around in order to get the syntax highlighting adjusted, as sometimes it mysteriously drops all highlighting.
Are there any work-arounds or ways to fix this? I'm using vim 7.1.
You might like to try this improved Javascript syntax highlighter rather than the one that ships with VIMRUNTIME.
Well, I've modified Yi Zhao's Javascript Syntax, and added Ajax Keywords support, also highlight DOM Methods and others.
Here it is, it is far from being perfect as I'm still new to Vim, but so far it has work for me. My Javascript Syntax. If you can fix, add features, please do.
UPDATE: I forgot these syntax highlights are only shown if you included them in your own colorscheme, as I did in my Nazca colorscheme. I'll test if I could add these line into my modified syntax file.
Follow the new version of the javascript syntax file in github, for it is no longer required to modify your current colorscheme.
Syntax coloring synchronization probably needs adjustment. I've found in certain contexts that I need to change it.
Syntax synchronization (":help syn-sync") controls how vim keeps track of and refreshes its parse of the code for coloring, so that it can start drawing anywhere in the file.
The defaults don't always work for me, so sometimes I find myself issuing
:syn sync fromstart
I suggest reading through the documentation under
:help syn-sync
or just check
:help syntax
and find the section on synchronization.
to make an informed decision among the four available basic options.
I maintain mappings to function keys to switch between "fromstart" and "ccomment" modes and for just clearing the sync settings.
This is a really old post, but I was experiencing the same thing: sometimes syntax highlight would just stop working when looking at the javascript section in an .html file. As the OP mentions, a quick workaround was to scroll up and then magically things would start highlighting again.
Today I found the underlying problem and a good solution. In Vim, syntax highlighting uses a context to derive the correct highlight, where context is defined by the previous lines. It is possible to specify how many lines before the current line are used by issuing :syntax sync minlines=200. In this case, it will use up to 200 previous lines as context. It is possible to use the whole file (which can be slow for long files) by running :syntax sync fromstart.
Once I found that, I added this line to my .vimrc:
autocmd BufEnter *.html :syntax sync fromstart
By doing so, .html files will use the whole file as context. Thus, the javascript section will always by highlighted properly, regardless of how long the JS section is. Hope this helps someone else out there!
For a quick and dirty fix, sometimes I just scroll up and down and the highlighting readjusts. Ctrl+L for a screen redraw can also fix it.
