> Do you trust 'jump to definition'.

It depends, for some languages 'jump to definition' tools ask the same compiler/interpreter that you use to build your code, so it's as accurate as it gets, and it's not 'best effort'.

It also depends a bit on your project, some project are more prone to re-using names or symbols.

Well, Claude probably also doesn't want to have to 'learn' how to use all kinds of different tools for different languages and eco-systems.
