Way to Go From Method Implementation to Interface Method Declaration #14588
Description
TypeScript Version: 2.2.1
Code
interface ITest {
test(): void;
}
class Test implements ITest {
test() {
return null;
}
}Request
Running go to definition on test in class Test currently does not return ITest::test. Neither does go to type definition.
In VSCode, we would like some way to jump from a class's interface method implementation or abstract method implementation to the interface method declaration or abstract method declaration itself. I'm not sure which command makes sense to do this, either go to definition or go to type definition, but we are open to any suggestions

FWIW the "Find All References" command already does this. I think what you essentially want here is "Find all referencing declarations", which would be trivial to implement.

What I think would be a nice addition to vscode is that you could jump from the implementation of an interface to the Interface method itself. There are two options now: "go to definition" and "go to type definition", and they both give a "not found" error. Which, in my opinion, could be better.

i do not think this is a definition. what about a class that overrides a declaration? what about an object literal that really defines this function?
i think go to type seems more reasonable here.

VS Code now has a
go to declarationfeature. While I believe it was originally added for c++, it may make sense for this use case in TS
