In this topic, you can find some examples of using navigation and search features in TypeScript.

Navigate to

To find out what navigation features are supported for TypeScript on the whole and for the current symbol in particular, use the Navigate to context menu. Place the caret at the symbol and press Control+Shift+G

Go to file member

To find a symbol quickly by its name in the current file and navigate directly to its declaration, press Control+F12. For more information, refer to Go to File Member.

Go to derived or base symbols

If you need to find and navigate directly to an inheritor of a given type, you can easily do this using the Go to Derived Symbols feature. Press Alt+Control+B to display the list of inheritors. Immediate inheritors are displayed in bold and at the top of the list. To do the opposite: navigate to base symbols, press Control+U.

File structure

If you need a quick look at the code structure of a file, press Control+F11 to open the File Structure window. You can expand compound elements, for example classes, investigate them and navigate to their declarations.

Find usages

If a symbol is used in multiple places and you want to find all its usages, place the caret at the symbol and press Alt+F7.
