Hello,
how do you jump to the definition of function/variable at point while
editing Emacs Lisp code?
Currently I use "C-h f", then I follow the link showed into the
function/variable documentation. Is there a way to achieve that with a
single command?
Thanks

try M-x find-function and bind it to a key that suits you well.
Cheers,

You hit. The format string crumbles and turns to dust.

Of course, it's possible, but I wouldn't advise it. It's good to go
thru the documentation from time to time...

The documentation in elisp is where the code is.
