right-click -> Find In Project

Status: New

I often find my self right-clicking the VI, either in the block diagram where it's used or on the icon at the top-right, but each time I'm reminded that this function does not exist (yet!). It would be really useful when navigating in large projects if you could right-click the VI and find it in the project. Often I want to get to its class to find other VIs that I'm looking for and sometimes to check where the class is used by the rest of the code.

In the tool bar, View->This VI in Project. It also has the shortcut of Ctrl+Shift+E.

@crossrulz, thanks for the tip! That was new to me.

 

However, I still believe it would be convenient with the right-click option. It would be so intuitive! Especially from the block diagram.

I personally mapped the "Ctrl+Shift+E" shortcut to one of the extra buttons on my mouse (Logitech G502).
