In IntelliJ when editing Java files, this works for me. e.g. CTRL-LEFTCLICK on an identifier takes me to where that identifier is defined. For some reason it doesn't work when editing Ruby code. Any ideas?

This is because the program doesn't know where to find that identifier... it's more of a program use question than a programming problem.

No, this is not the case. When I hover over the identifier, in 95% of cases IntelliJ is able to work out precisely what the identifier is (local variable, member variable, class etc) and show me the fully qualified class name etc in a tool tip.
Even the holding CTRL and hovering over the identifier shows the blue underline: it's just that nothing happens when I click on it. I would expect to be taken to where the identifier is defined. So either I have a configuration issue or there is a bug in IntelliJ - just don't know whicj.
