I believe this is genuinely a decent idea. In the editor make it so Ctrl+clicking a command/identifier takes you to the file/line it is defined.

I haven't memorised the line number of every alias I've written so that's a bit pointless.

It could be useful, but I think it's not so easy to implement and I'm sure there are many features that could be added that would be more helpful. I mean, Ctrl-F > "aliasname {" (no quotes), works really well and easily. If it could be done easily for clicking like you mentioned, then great... but I don't think the time involved to do that would be worth the small improvement.

Why would it be hard to add? mIRC can already find most aliases by name from the menu at the top of the Aliases section, it'd just be a more convenient method of accessing them. As for Ctrl+F, that doesn't consider that the alias might not use braces in the definition or if this was available within Remotes aswell, that it could be a local alias.


Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

Instead of the shift+click, I think a "find alias" box would be a great idea. mIRC already knows how to find aliases (everytime is calls one), so it shouldn't be too difficult to add as a feature

But also have it work in the other direction, for example clicking a /signal command would take you to the On Signal event(s) that matches.

That's not really the 'other direction' to what I was suggesting. The 'find alias' would allow you to choose an alias/signal/identifier that you have created somewhere in the aliases/remotes files and locate where it is defined. If you were trying to find where it is used, you could just use the regular "find".
