== Semantic code navigation
You can navigate a file with semantic code navigation features if:
- *Code* supports the file's <<code-install-lang-server, language>>
- You have installed the corresponding <<code-install-lang-server, language server>>

==== Goto definition and find reference
Hovering your cursor over a symbol in a file opens information about the symbol, including its qualified name and documentation, when available. You can perform two actions:
* *Goto Definition* navigates to the symbol definition. Definitions defined in a different repo can be found, provided that you have imported the repo with the definition.
* *Find Reference* opens a panel that lists all references to the symbol.

==== View symbol table
From the *Structure* tab, you can open a symbol table that details the structure of the current class. Clicking on a member function or variable jumps to its definition.
