Go to Definition (show source code) not working

I am using Visual Micro for many project. Working fine, but "Go to Definition" (show source code) does not work. My current ESP8266 project works, compiles and programs fine. The IDE jumps to the *.h file, but not to the source code. Same for Arduino API functions, or functions of installed libraries. Any ideas? I am using Visual Studio Community 2015. 

Update:
I tried it on a project with only Arduino Uno, and the same thing. The IDE only ever jumps to the *.h include file, but never to the source code definition.

Update:
I installed Eclipse with the Sloeber Eclipse Arduino plugin, and it works with this IDE. In my ESP8266 project, "ctrl-click" will take me to the declaration and definition of functions.

GotoDeclaration jumps to prototype in h file
GotoDefinition  jumps to sourcecode

Jo Sto is correct.

It is also worth mentioning that if you are try to "goto definition" on the underlying esp32 core it is a good idea to click "vMicro>Toggle Hidden Files". This does not affect compilation but can help.

There is also a new version of visual micro due over the next few days which improves the esp intellisense inline with the newer toolchain it now uses.

I had my "definition" and "declaration" mixed in original question. Fixed it now. Also added some updates to post.

Thanks, the "vMicro-->Toggle Hidden Files" seems to have fixed it. It now jumps to function declaration and definition of ESP8266 library classes and functions!
