In addition to clicking on a Source: line in the routine info
window, there is another way to quickly visit the source file of a
routine. The command C-c C-v (idlwave-find-module) asks
for a module name, offering the same default as
idlwave-routine-info would have used, taken from nearby buffer
contents. In the minibuffer, specify a complete routine name (including
any class part). IDLWAVE will display the source file in another
window, positioned at the routine in question. You can also limit this
to a routine in the current buffer only, with completion, and a
context-sensitive default, by using a single prefix (C-u C-c C-v)
or the convenience binding C-c C-t.
Since getting the source of a routine into a buffer is so easy with
IDLWAVE, too many buffers visiting different IDL source files are
sometimes created. The special command C-c C-k
(idlwave-kill-autoloaded-buffers) can be used to easily remove
these buffers.
