Find Usages

Find all places where a symbol is used throughout your project.

Using Find Usages

Position your cursor on any symbol and use:

Action	macOS	Windows/Linux
Find Usages	Alt+F7	Alt+F7
Find Usages in popup	Cmd+Alt+F7	Ctrl+Alt+F7

Supported Symbols

Find Usages works with:

Templates

Find all instantiations of a template:

template Hasher() {           // <- Find usages here
    signal input left;
    signal output hash;
}

template MerkleTree() {
    component h1 = Hasher();  // Found: usage
    component h2 = Hasher();  // Found: usage
}

Functions

Find all calls to a function:

function factorial(n) {       // <- Find usages here
    if (n <= 1) return 1;
    return n * factorial(n-1); // Found: recursive call
}

template Main() {
    var result = factorial(5); // Found: usage
}

Signals

Find all references to a signal:

template Example() {
    signal input value;        // <- Find usages here
    signal output doubled;

    doubled <== value * 2;     // Found: usage
}

Variables

Find all uses of a variable:

template Loop() {
    var sum = 0;               // <- Find usages here
    for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        sum += i;              // Found: usage
    }
}

Components

Find all uses of a component instance:

template Main() {
    component adder = Adder(); // <- Find usages here
    adder.a <== 5;             // Found: usage
    adder.b <== 3;             // Found: usage
    out <== adder.sum;         // Found: usage
}

Results Panel

The Find Usages results appear in a tool window showing:

• File name and path
• Line number of each usage
• Code context around the usage
• Usage type (read, write, declaration)

Tip

Double-click any result to jump directly to that location in the code.

Filtering Results

In the results panel, you can:

• Group results by file, package, or usage type
• Filter to show only certain types of usages
• Expand/collapse groups

Alternative: Highlight Usages in File

For a quick visual overview without opening the Find Usages panel:

Action	macOS	Windows/Linux
Highlight usages in file	Cmd+Shift+F7	Ctrl+Shift+F7

This highlights all occurrences of the symbol in the current file.
