Tip: #9 - Displaying a variable/macro definition
Created: February 24, 2001 18:00 Complexity: basic Author: Yegappan Version: 5.7 Karma: 120/43 Imported from: Tip#9
To display the definition of a variable, place the cursor on the variable and use the [i command. To display a macro definition, place the cursor on the macro name and use the [d command.
Note that these commands will work most of the time (not all the time). To get more help on these commands, use
- :help [i
- :help [d
Comments
Use [I on a variable display all the lines having that variable with line numbers. This is very useful for browsing some C Code.

You can also do ]<c-i> do JUMP to the place where it is defined

gd
will also take you to where it is defined (unless it is global, in which case gD works)
