Quick Open / Go to symbol to include package files

[davidgilbertson]

I would like to be able to search for a symbol (ctrl+T) across not just my workspace files but also the symbols in my installed packages.

I'm coming from IntelliJ where this is lightning fast and I used it all the time.

If you're wondering why someone would want this, an example: I just ran some code, it broke, I stepped through the code in the debugger to see that something went wrong in a class called Aggregator (that I don't use directly) somewhere in a package called sktime. Now, I'm out of the debug session and I want to open that class up. This appears to be not so easy!

I can type a = Aggrega<ctrl+space> in my code and the auto-import machinery knows where this object is, so 'performance' can't be a reason to not make this an option. But I don't want to actually import the class, just read through its logic to diagnose the problem.

Hi @davidgilbertson, thank you for your suggestion! We currently have a discussion item #2679 for supporting searching for symbols in libraries. Please upvote the idea if you'd like to see it being supported, thanks!
