Way to click "return" in a function and be taken to Calling Function?

JimNayzium

I find myself wanting to do this a lot.
Is this possible with a combination of toggles in settings and I am missing it?

If not, CAN it be? 😄
LOVE LOVE LOVE this extension!!

Way to click "return" in a function and be taken to Calling Function?

That's a neat feature. Have you seen this somewhere else? I'm not sure how to fit this into the available VSCode commands.

I have never seen this as I don't use anything else other than vscode and am a novice at best!
I just always find myself scrolling back to the top of the function and clicking the references when in actuality what I truly want to do is "jump back to the calling function of the function I am currently inside of" type thing.

So I just always imagine command-clicking the word "return" in the return line of code and it just "following where that return takes the code" type thing. Saving the scrolling up to the lens-zooming in on references type thing.
Even if it just loaded the same thing the references load that would be super helpful.
Does that make sense?

JimNayzium I see!

We may add a code-lens above the "return" to quickly navigate to usages (same as we show above the function). Cmd+click wouldn't fit well into VSCode's UX (as it should navigate to the definition)

JimNayzium

That would be amazing. And it could be toggle-able in settings for folks annoyed by it maybe? Otherwise, I would love it!

Actually, I am just now realizing that if I double click the function name as its frozen as the header as I scroll down it jumps me up to the location of the code-lens at least. Not perfect, but not terrible either.
Anyway to make the code-lens stay in the frozen header?

JimNayzium There is opened issue to make this happen :) https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/187834
