Description

Hey guys, thanks for the hard work on this plugin. I was wondering, ctrl-t ctrl-d isn't super intuitive for me since I use this so frequently, and I had a few ideas about improving it. First thought is, would it be possible to make ctrl-clicking jump to the definition also? I know resharper does this for visual studio and it's a fast way to navigate because you can click through different files until you get where you're looking for.

A second and probably harder thought is to make the right-click -> Goto definition use you guys' typescript logic, or maybe add an additional right click item just for typescript, like "Goto typescript definition". Any thoughts on the difficulty factor here?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by examining the existing ctrl-t ctrl-d behavior and the plugin's TypeScript integration, then compare the feasibility of ctrl-click navigation with the editor's right-click Goto definition action. Done requires an agreed scope and verified definition navigation behavior.
