Description

In PICO-8 its Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down, super useful for navigating large files quickly. I have some big scripts and regularly need to move between a few functions, usually I end up doing a search for the function name and cycling through the call sites or something similar. Other navigation aids like a drop down list of all functions in the scope, split/multiview of the same file etc are always welcome.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or editor entry points. Start by locating the editor's keyboard shortcut and code-navigation handling, then determine how functions are identified; done means a documented shortcut reliably moves between functions in a file and has coverage for the navigation behavior.
