Hi there,

is it just me or did the 'find declaration' (Shift F12) change at some build (using build 14024 right now)?

Former behavior was, that when cursor was standing on a variable (e.g. $somevar in file1.php) and hitting Shift+F12, PhpED was looking for the declaration in workspace:

file1.php

-> config-file.php



New behavior is, that you´re getting a list of files, where $somevar is used, but not where it´s declared

For that i could use 'find usage' (Ctrl F7)

Would like to have back the old behaviour

I'm using a beta version 14 and whilst Find Declaration from the popup menu works (the way I normally use it) if I press shift+F12 then PhpED crashes.

Pressing shift+F12 even without a file/project open still crashes my PhpED, even if just after starting it and sitting at the startup project list page. I'll check with the latest beta and if still crashing then I'll report it as a bug.

According to my PhpED settings for IDE shortcuts, shift+F12 should do Find Declaration.

Does the popup menu work for you as a temporary solution?

using shift+F12 works fine - no crashes - neither in build 14024 nor in newest build 14029, which i just installed. Runnin Win7 Pro x64 using x64 version of PhpED.



Popup makes no sense to me, when a list of files is shown, where the variable is found, but not declared.
My variable is declared in ONE file (config.inc.php), but i get a list of all files (including config.inc.php), where e.g. $butt_top_img is echoed.
I expect the old behavior, where Editor jumps directly in the config.inc.php file and sets cursor on this particular line.

Hope this can be fixed soon ...

Sorry, I meant the popup context menu that you see when you right-click the variable name; there should be a Find Declaration option at the top of that menu.

@plugnplay
- popup context menu - no crashes
- menubar Search>Find Declaration - no crashes
- shift+F12 - no crashes

PHP has no such thing as "point where variable is declared"
and indeed, current version shows all points where the variable is used, instead of previous versions that showed an arbitrary place among them.

@dmitri
ahh - ok, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing this up.

"Find declaration" functionality, from right click, works great on php files.
Popup opens with a choice of files where it is either declare or use.

When you do it on a javascript files, it doesn't work.

It doesn't show any popup, and it directly opens the file where the variable or function was
declared, the first time...

As an example, I have a function "myFunct" which can be found in common.js
the last version of common.js, which is currently open in the IDE, also have older versions
in "_archives" directory and since myFunct was declared in the first version of common.js,
the IDE will open "_archives/version1/common.js".

Since the last version of the file is open, it would be wise to select this one, or at least,
to show the popup with all available choice of files...

Any thoughts on that?
