in the main menu).Alternatively, with the Ctrl key pressed, hover the cursor over any symbol. CLion displays the symbol as a link and shows its definition in a tooltip. Click this link to jump to the definition of the symbol.
You can open a definition in the Find tool window. To do so, click the icon in the top-right corner of the popup and click Open in Find Tool Window.
