Navigate between multiple usages of a method in call hierarchy

Hello, 

Please clarify what OS are you using? Do you want to just "walk" through the usages? If yes, please tell if Alt+Cmd+arrow up and down works for you?

Thanks

I'm using Windows 10 over RDP, so Ctrl+Alt+{Arrow} hot keys don't work because Microsoft RDP Clients use such key combinations for their own purposes. I already had to remap "Navigate" | "Back" and "Navigate" | "Forward" to other hot keys.

The Ctrl+Alt+Up and Ctr+Alt+Down hot keys you mentioned are "Navigate" | "Go to previous call" and "Navigate" | "Go to next call". When I click those menu entries while having the focus on the "Hierarchy" view, IntelliJ simply navigates up and down in the hierarchy list and this is NOT what I meant.

You can have multiple call sites of a method inside one single other method, like in my JDK example: There are three calls of PKIXValidator.doValidate inside of PKIXValidator.engineValidate and I cannot find a way to jump to each of those call sites directly from the "Hierarchy" view. A double click on PKIXValidator.engineValidate in this view jumps only to the first occurrence, i.e., the first call site of PKIXValidator.doValidate inside of PKIXValidator.engineValidate.

In Eclipse you have a side pane inside a Call Hierarchy view that, if applicable, provides a list of multiple call sites inside one method and you can click on each of those elements in the list and directly jump to each of those call sites.

I hope this better illustrates what I' m after.

Hi Olga,

this issue you mentioned is not exactly about the same problem I have with IntelliJ.

Example code for my case looks like this:

public class TestClass {
    void top() {}

    void caller1() {
        top();
        top();
    }

    void caller2() {
        top();
    }

    void subCaller() {
        caller1();
    }
}

As you can see, the method caller1() contains two call sites for the method top().
The resulting call hierarchy in IntelliJ IDEA 2020.2.1 looks like this (alphabetical sorting is active):

I want to navigate to each of those "2 usages", but unfortunately, there aren't even separate nodes for those two distinct call sites in the hierarchy.

Regards,
Alex
