This seems to be true. Is there a work-around? Am I doing something wrong?

The context for wanting to use Find in Files is that I'm trying to create a macro to find a VHDL entity when I have it's instantiation. If you aren't familiar with VHDL, think of it as finding the function definition from a function call. It would be nice if there were cross-linking (programmable, b/c VHDL tends not to be as nicely supported as C/C++) that I see in Visual Studio and other C/C++ editors/IDEs.

I apologize if this is discussed elsewhere, but I have been unable to find it. Please see http://www.textpad.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6712 for why.

Are you looking for something like Exuberant Ctags?

Thanks for the info. I am still wondering why it's disabled, tho'.

Exuberant Ctags looks like an almost fit. It does what I want, but doesn't support VHDL (doh!). It does support Verilog, which is a similar language and almost like a bit of insult to injury...

I guess I'll contact the author to see if he would be kind enough to add VHDL.
