Go to method declaration

Question

Is it possible to got to PHP method declaration through method call in Sublime Text?

// pressing some keys combination should navigate me
// to the method declaration. If it's defined in some other file,
// the file should be opened.
$foo->doSomething();

Answer 1

Sublime 3 is the answer! It has a goto_definition function build in which works fine as long as you have a project with your source folder added (so that they can get indexed). I use it with scala+lift, PHP, Python.

Per default it is bound to F12 and without project setup it searches only in the actual file.

It was the missing feature to leave Eclipse and Netbeans.

Update (June 2016): @Erik255's answer is better now that Sublime Text 3 is out. Please upvote his. Since this is currently the accepted answer, these are the steps repeated:

1. Use "File > Open Folder" or "Project > Add folder to project" (you may need to create a project first)
2. F12 will jump to any symbol in the project

Original answer:

As of Sublime Text 2, you can use Goto anything (CTRL+R).

(searches only within the current page)

Answer 3

There is a CTags package for Sublime Text that makes it possible to use a project level .ctags .tags index file to jump to the definition of the symbol under the cursor by hitting ctrl+t twice: https://github.com/SublimeText/CTags

Answer 4

There is a great plugin called SublimeCodeIntel with the following features:

• Jump to Symbol Definition - Jump to the file and line of the definition of a symbol.
• Imports autocomplete - Shows autocomplete with the available modules/symbols in real time.
• Function Call tooltips - Displays information in the status bar about the working function.
