Description Kevin Dangoor 2012-06-07 05:34:54 PDT 
1. open http://addyosmani.github.com/todomvc/architecture-examples/backbone/index.html
2. Type "todos@toggleDon" (don't add the "e", because of bug 762452)
3. it jumps to       "click .check"              : "toggleDone",

Expected result:

should jump to toggleDone: function()

Sublime Text uses @ to jump to functions and # to do a string search. The current behavior is equivalent to Sublime's #.

My suggestion is that we:

1. use "#" for the current behavior, right away
2. use "@" to search for functions, in a followup if need be

I think that's a good suggestion. I don't use "#" that much in Sublime, which is why it didn't occur to me earlier. Note that hitting Enter will move to the next match and start from scratch when it reaches the end.

Cool. Somehow I had missed that.

If we could get a switch to # into Aurora, I think that would be preferable to changing the behavior later.

Let's do a quick switch to #, and tackle the @function search in a followup?
