Feature Request – Go to Definition (Ctrl+Click) in Oracle SQL Developer VS Code Extension

Ádám Lantos35 hours ago — edited 32 hours ago

Dear Oracle team,

Thank you for providing the Oracle SQL Developer extension for Visual Studio Code. It is a very useful tool that simplifies working with Oracle databases directly within VS Code.

I noticed a couple of areas where the extension could be improved:

  1. Go to Definition via Ctrl+Click – Currently, "Go to Definition" is available only via right-click. It would be extremely helpful to enable it with a quick keyboard/mouse shortcut (Ctrl+Click), as this is a standard workflow in VS Code and other IDEs.
  2. Owner resolution for objects – When navigating to a database object, the extension currently lists all related synonyms instead of showing the actual owner object immediately. Resolving directly to the object owner would save time and reduce confusion.

Implementing these enhancements would greatly improve developer productivity and make the extension even more valuable for daily PL/SQL development.

Thank you for your attention and for your excellent work on the extension.

Best regards,
Adam Lantos
