Actually for me, this is much more important:
"Symbol and definition lookup is another great feature of WebStorm. While Emacs can find symbols and definitions in a single file via Tern, WebStorm can actually inspect your whole project and find a definition, or at least give you a very pruned list of candidates to choose from."
not being able to Ctrl-click a variable or function really reduces my efficency (especially with code that I did not write entirely on my own).
- emidln 11y agoI'm not sure how other emacs users do this, but I use `projectile-grep` to grep for symbols in a project all the time. In the spacemacs this is bound to `SPC g s p`.
- peterhadlaw 11y agoProjectile-grep is awesome. I use it too. Although I swapped out grep for platinum-searcher for freaky fast results (at the loss of certain regex features)
- scottaj2 11y agoI use helm-ag for the same purpose, but it still generally isn't as fast as CMD-b in webstorm. I should hook up something to do helm-ag for the symbol under point...
- ludwigvan 11y agoThis is possible in emacs to a certain extent, with the help of node itself. See my comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10973687 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10973687
- feider 11y agoSure, but the right metric with emacs is how feasible something is, not whether it's possible.
- wging 11y agoas other have mentioned in this thread, Tern also is capable of inspecting your whole project to find a definition.
