Hi, I’m currently learning and developing in Radrails. But it has a big disadvantage, i would like to have the possibility to see the declaration of a Class, Module in a onew way click. Le’s say i’m at the code lob = MyClass.new , i want to see at a click, double click …the file where MyClass is declared. All other IDE’s do that. Please help, thank U. ---

Good support for Ruby/Rails (intellisense, debugging, etc.) Runs on all mainstream operating systems.

Our Developer Edition of Ruby In Rails has Go To Definition (locates classes, variables, methods etc.) plus a Ruby Explorer tool to let you browse the class library in a tree-structured window. best wishes Huw [http://www.sapphiresteel.com](http://www.sapphiresteel.com)
