uVision 4: "Go to definition" - no keyboard shortcut

[Apologies in advance if this is obvious, but I've searched both application and online help, and found nothing. - JSG]

I'm used to using Vim (gVim/vi) for source code editing and navigation, and within Vim there's an easy shortcut to "push" the current location, and go to the definition of the term under the cursor: CTRL-] (CTRL-T to "pop" the previous location).

uVision 4.22.0.0 allows this through a right-click, followed by mousing to "Go to definition", but this is slow compared to a single key-chord, and I prefer to keep my fingers on the keyboard during editing!

Whilst uVision allows for the setting up of keyboard shortcuts, these appear to be only for menu items - and "Go to definition" isn't in any menu (other than the right-click context menu within the source editor), so there seems no evident way to create a shortcut for what is a pretty fundamental operation in a modern IDE, needed by anyone inheriting an existing code-base.

Does anyone know of a "hidden" keyboard shortcut for "Go to definition", or a sneaky way of defining one?

Thanks in advance!
