Scala-IDE - how to navigate to inferred type

Question

I'm wondering whether in Scala-IDE is there possibility to jump from inferred value/variable to type of this variable. I can only see type information in tooltip while hovering over variable.

Answer 1

You can use Ctrl+Shift+T to find type that you see in tooltip.

Answer 2

There is a slightly better workaround in the current nightlies of Scala IDE. A feature has been added to make inferred types explicit.

Put the caret on the line declaring the val/var and use Ctrl+1. You should see the quick fix Add explicit type .... Then you can navigate to the type.

If you have a good idea on how to improve the UI to make this navigation possible, please open a feature request.
