Ctrl+Shift+Down jumps from method/procedure declaration to the the body
and back.
Find declaration searches the next declaration. For example if RenameDir
would be an "override" method it would take you to the method in the
ancestor.
You can also use Find declaration to find out if the declaration hides
another declaration.
