[TxMt] Re: anchor/integrate the "Go to *" windows into the main ui

[Koen Punt]

Selecting a symbol from the 'Go to..' dialog can be achieved by adding an @ after selecting the file, followed by the name of a symbol.

I think that's pretty handy, and I didn't even know it was there. I couldn't figure out if there was a keyboard shortcut for it, if there isn't, seems like based on that icon, maybe just using the right arrow on a selected file would be good? If there already is a keyboard shortcut, what is it, because i'd love to use it.
