Boy.txt Human.txt

Dear Chris,

Here is a new suggestion. It is quite difficult to explain so don't hesitate to go directly to the example... When using Go to Definition on a procedure that is declared in a derived type, this derived type being defined in an other file, we are sent to the line procedure, pass(this) :: foo. Most of the time, we would like to go directly to the procedure body itself subroutine foo(..).

I attached a minimum working example (attached files are .f90 files). Human declares a procedure foo. Boy extends Human and uses the procedure foo somewhere. When using Go to Definition on foo in line 16 of Boy.f90, we are sent to line 7 of Human.f90. We could expect to be sent directly to line 12 of Human.f90 (the subroutine body). Even better, to satisfy "everybody" : clicking on foo in line 16 of Boy.f90 could redirect (as it is the case now) to line 7 of Human.f90 but then clicking on foo in line 7 of Human.f90 could redirect to the subroutine body, line 12.

I hope my example will help you understand the behaviour I am describing.

Best regards,

Maxime

This feature is already implemented as a separate request "Go to Implementation" in VSCode. By default the key mapping for this isn't as obvious as the "Go to Definition" but you can always change that.

Alright, thank you for the tips.
