NetBeans "Go To Declaration" (F12) work-around in mis-configured JavaServer Faces (JSF)

Question
Is there a "shortcut key" work-around (e.g. macro, plugin, etc.) to navigate into a Java method from a JSF page in NetBeans (v. 7.4)?
Context (less relevant):
Problem: JSF navigation features, esp. "Go To Declaration," in my slightly mis-configured NetBeans environment are mostly broken. I'm gonna lose my mind if I have to keep copying method name > find symbol > paste method name > get matches > look back at parent classes/interfaces > scroll to match > select match.
Config Fail: Won't fix IDE/env configuration (to enable JSF navigation) for now. Initial attempts failed (plus DevLead asked me not to touch it). It's some combination of NetBeans/J2EE/JSF/PriceFaces/Gradle/GlassFish.
Analogous Work-Around: Within Visual Studio, macros that match strings to "Go to Implementation" (when declarations bring you to interface)
Psychology: Sequences of learned repetitive fine-motor movements (e.g. a longer sequence of UI navigation commands) are part of "implicit procedural memory." Mine is very weak.
No correct solution
