  <title>Code navigation using the symbol browser</title>

<section>
<title>Using the symbol browser</title>
<p>The symbol browser allows you to get an overview over the symbols used in your
project. Symbols refers to variables, functions/methods and classes here and the
exact definition depends on the programming language used.</p>

<p>The symbol browser has three tabs:</p>
<list>
	<item><p><gui>File</gui> shows the symbols of the current file in the editor</p></item>
	<item><p><gui>Project</gui> shows all symbols of the project</p></item>
	<item><p><gui>Search</gui> lets you search the symbols in the project 
	(use <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>L</key></keyseq> to jump directly to the search box)</p></item>
</list>

<p>Double click on jumps to the definition of the symbol in the editor.</p>

<title>Navigating in the editor</title>
<p>In the <gui>Goto</gui> popup-menu of the editor there two items that help you to quickly navigate
through the source code:</p>

<list>
	<item><p><gui>Symbol definition</gui></p></item>
	<item><p><gui>Symbol declaration</gui></p></item>
</list>

<p>If you want to go back to the position in the editor where you used the 
shown items in the <gui>Goto</gui> menu you can use the
<gui>Previous history</gui> (and <gui>Next history</gui>) items in the same menu.</p>
