Navigate with the caret

on the main toolbar or press Ctrl+Alt+Left. To move forward, click on the main toolbar or press Ctrl+Alt+Right.To quickly move to the top of the editor, press Ctrl+Page Up. To move the caret to the bottom of your editor, press Ctrl+Page Down.
To navigate to the last edited location, press Ctrl+Shift+Backspace.
To find the current caret location in the editor, press Ctrl+M. This action might be helpful if you do not want to scroll through a large file.
Alternatively, you can press Up and Down arrow keys to achieve the same result.
To highlight a word at the caret you are trying to locate, select from the main menu. If you are using Windows, you can also press Ctrl+F3.
To see on what element the caret is currently positioned, press Alt+Q.
To move caret between matching code block braces, press Ctrl+Shift+M.
To navigate between code blocks, press Ctrl+[ or Ctrl+].
Move the caret
You can use different actions to move the caret through code. You can also configure where the caret should stop when moved by words and on line breaks.
To move the caret to the next word or the previous word, press Ctrl+Right or Ctrl+Left.
By default, RustRover moves the caret to the end of the current word. When you move the caret to the previous word, it is placed at the beginning of the current word.
You can customize the caret position for these actions. In the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , go to . In the Caret Movement section, use the When moving by words and Upon line break options to configure the caret's behavior.
To move the caret forward to the next paragraph or backward to the previous one, press Ctrl+Shift+A and search for the Move Caret Forward a Paragraph or Move Caret Backward a Paragraph action.
You can also select a text and then move the caret forward or backward to a paragraph. Press Ctrl+Shift+A and search for the Move Caret Forward a Paragraph with Selection or Move Caret Backward a Paragraph with Selection action.
Find a line or column
In the Go to Line/Column dialog, specify a line or column number, or both, separating them with : and click OK.
If you do not want to see the line numbers in the editor, in the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , go to and clear the Show line numbers checkbox.
Locate a code element with the Structure view popup
You can use the structure view popup to locate a code element in the file you are working on.
To open the structure view popup, press Ctrl+F12.
In the popup, locate an item you need. You can start typing a name of the element for RustRover to narrow down the search. Press Enter to return to the editor and the corresponding element.
Navigate between code elements
Go to Declaration or Usages
You can navigate to the declaration of a variable, function, or type from its usage:
Place a caret at a symbol and press Ctrl+B.
For a type declaration, press Ctrl+Shift+B.
You can also point to the symbol keeping Ctrl pressed, and click, when it turns to a hyperlink. The popup message will show the declaration information. Click once again to navigate to the declaration.
The Go to Declaration or Usages action (Ctrl+Shift+B) works differently for different cases:
When invoked on a symbol usage, it navigates to that usage’s declaration.
When invoked on a declaration, it shows the list of that declaration’s usages.
When invoked on a definition, it shows the associated declaration.
Go to implementation
You can keep track of type implementations using the gutter icons in the editor, or by pressing the appropriate shortcuts, or by clicking Inheritors inlay hints.
Click one of the
/
gutter icons located in the editor and select an ascendant or descendant class from the list. 
To navigate to the super method, press Ctrl+U.
To navigate to the implementation, press Ctrl+Alt+B.
Navigate between errors or warnings
To jump to the next or previous found issue in your code, press F2 or Shift+F2 respectively. Alternatively, go to in the main menu.
RustRover places the caret immediately before the code issue.
Configure the way RustRover navigates between code issues: it can either jump between all code issues or skip minor issues and only navigate between detected errors. Right-click the code analysis marker in the scroll bar area and choose one of the available navigation modes from the context menu:
To have RustRover skip warnings, infos, and other minor issues, choose Problems with Highest Priority.
To have RustRover jump between all detected code issues, choose All Problems.
Browse through methods
To visually separate methods in code, in the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , go to and select the Show method separators option.
To open the Structure tool window, press Alt+7.
