The Go To dialog box allows you to jump quickly to several different items in a file, including:

• Bookmarks (type a bookmark name or select one from the drop-down list).
  
  
• Definitions (type the name of a class, function, or variable to go to where it is defined).
  
  
• Error/Tag (select a tagged line from the drop-down list).
  
  
• Lines (type the line number).
  
  
• Reference (type the name of a class, function, or variable to go to where it is referenced).

Some of the items in the Go to what box require additional information from you before the Go To command can execute. For example, if you select Line in the Go to what box, you must provide a line number.

The Go To dialog box includes helper text that prompts you for additional information when it is required. If the helper text appears dimmed, then the Go To item you selected is not available. A Go To item can be unavailable for two reasons:

• The file type is incorrect.

  For example, you cannot supply a hexadecimal address in a source code file.

• You have not yet defined any of the selected items.

  For example, you cannot jump to a bookmark if you have not defined any bookmarks.
