Alt-Up in editor not so good

[Guest]

Hi all,

Using Alt-Up in the code editor takes you to a declaration.
I use this all the time - it's a critical bit of functionality.
Lazarus doesn't seem as good at finding units as Delphi.

For example, if you have structure:

root\delphi\lib\Unit1.pas, Unit2.pas
    |
    \laz\myprog\myprog.lpr, Main.pas

if, say, myprog USES Main, which USES Unit1,
and Unit1 USES Unit2, you can't go from Main to
Unit1 to Unit2 via a sequence of Alt-Ups

I've tried all kinds of relative and absolute
paths in options, and adding files to the project (which
I prefer to avoid - I like just specifying paths),
but Lazarus just won't do it - or at least I can't get it to.

Another thing along the same lines: Laz doesn't seem to like
uses clauses whith IFDEFs, eg

uses
  {IFDEF FPC} Unit1, {ELSE} Unit2 {ENDIF};

Alt-Up on Unit1 doesn't do anything!

I think these problems are similar to a previous thread
"Ctrl+Space gives 'unit not found'", but that thread didn't
seem to go anywhere.

Delphi seems to manage all these fine.

Anyone got any suggestions, or perhaps have the same prob?

I don´t think so. My project here works perfectly with IFDEFs on the uses clause. I guess the variable FPC has a different name.

Here is my working uses clause (both on 0.9.10 and 0.9.11):

uses
  Classes, SysUtils, LResources, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, ExtCtrls,
{$IFDEF WIN32}
  Windows,
{$ENDIF}
{$IFDEF Linux}
  ports,
{$ENDIF}
  ComCtrls, StdCtrls, Buttons, ActnList, Spin, controles, Geral, hardware;
