The feature you're looking for – to start from the statement where a
function is called, then jump to the statement where that function is
defined – is implemented via “tags” across many languages and tools.

One very popular implementation is “Exuberant Ctags”. You can choose
from the tools <URL:http://ctags.sourceforge.net/tools.html> that
support that system, and continue using the same system when you switch
to a different language or a different tool.

Good luck to you in learning a development environment that is *not*
tied to the particular programming language you're writing.
