I often wish to jump to function definition of a key and currently I
use `C-h k' flow, then I press `C-x o' to switch to different window
and again `TAB' to reach to the file where function is located, then
`RET' to reach finally to the function definition.
For my personal needs I would like to switch straight to the function
definition of a key.
Maybe such feature already exists, does anybody know how?

Hi Jean Louis,
try this:
;; Try: (eek "M-h M-k <right>")
;; (eek "M-h M-k <right> 12*<down>")
;; (eek "M-h M-k <right> 12*<down> M-e")
;; (eek "M-h M-k M-h M-k ;; find-ekey-links")
;; (find-efunction 'find-ekey-links)
;; (find-efunction 'ee-find-eboundkey-links)
;; (find-definition-for-key (kbd "<right>"))
(defun find-definition-for-key (key &rest pos-spec-list)
"Based on `find-ekey-links' (`M-h M-k') and `find-efunction'."
(interactive "kFunction definition for Key: ")
(find-efunction (key-binding key)))
(defalias 'fdk 'find-definition-for-key)

Much thanks.
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c k") 'find-definition-for-key)
Now I can jump straight to function definition.

Great! Thanks for the feedback! =)
I try to make the functions and features of eev as composable as
possible - in this sense -
https://lambdaland.org/posts/2022-11-07_unix_philosophy/
and
(find-efunction 'right-char)
does _a part_ of what happens when we type `M-h k <right>' and we
click on the link that goes to the source code. I remember vaguely
that I struggled a log in the 90s to discover how to go to the source
without clicking on a button...

Okay, but where is "find-efunction"?
As always, byte-compile and do
(checkdoc-current-buffer t)
to hear complains about that, more ...

It's in eev, obviously! =)
You can find its source with:
(find-efunction 'find-efunction)
and it is also here:
http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eev-blinks.el.html#find-ebufferandpos

Me I am using eev from time to time, so it works. Though it would be
better to have such function liberated from larger package.

Hi Jean Louis,
It should be easy to copy it and its dependencies - they're very few -
to your init files. But note that to run it you only need to have eev
"loaded", not "activated"... this distinction is explained in these
two sections:
(find-eev-quick-intro "1. Installing eev" "does NOT activate")
(find-eev-install-intro "0. Loading eev")
http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eev-quick-intro.html#1
http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eev-install-intro.html#0
Cheers,
Eduardo

Add (find-function-setup-keys) to your config.
Then you can use C-x K for find-function-on-key

Out of curiosity: where does that come from? My Emacs does not know
such a function...
> Then you can use C-x K for find-function-on-key
...although apparently `find-function-on-key' is a thing.

Indeed, that works, I have my own implementation for that
- based on shell tools, and it only works for my own Elisp -
so this is not only built-in, it's better as well!
Thank you, no idea that existed!

Try using C-x F :)
It has been a part of Emacs since 1997

100% correct, I also had no idea ...
Got to rewire my own shortcut and dewire my own hack for
this ...
Mr. Johansen is no doubt the man of the day!

Very simple. Thanks. That is why I think when I think something or
need in Emacs probability is that it already exists.

Now that's interesting:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C-x f (translated from C-x F) runs the command set-fill-column
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Yes, I can see it now, though it's not loaded by default (that's why my
Emacs didn't have this function defined).
Thanks,
