The difference between Wedit and other editors is that it can show you the information you need more quickly than simply using GREP. To do this, press F8. This will instruct Wedit to search for the definition of the symbol that is currently under the cursor.
If the symbol corresponds to a function whose definition is in a currently loaded file, the cursor will be moved to that file and positioned at the beginning of the function definition.
If the symbol is a global or a local variable of the current function, its definition will be displayed in a new small window. If the symbol or variable is a structure, its definition will be included in the new window.
If the symbol corresponds to a
typedef, only its definition will be shown.
Press the accelerator keys,
Ctrl+F8, to go to this option. It will use the symbol under the cursor to show
all lines in all loaded files where the given symbol is used. This is similar to
the GREP utility, but it ignores commentaries and character strings.
To us this option, place
the cursor on the name of the function and press F8. This will take you to the
function definition if that function is loaded into the editor. As with other
options like this, it is very useful to load all source files of a project in
the editor.
The ‘Files’ combo box shows you which files use the symbol, the ‘Functions’ combo box shows you which functions use it. You can change the context displayed by clicking in a line from the main list box.
