For elisp, you can use something like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(progn
(require 'thingatpt)
(defun my-find-symbol-at-point ()
"Find the definition of the symbol at point."
(interactive)
(let ((sym (symbol-at-point)))
(funcall (pcase sym
((pred facep) #'find-face)
((pred symbol-function) #'find-function)
(_ #'find-variable))
sym)))
(global-set-key [(shift return)] #'my-find-symbol-at-point))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Michael.
