At work we use very niche languages that don't have language servers or really much support in IDEs in general (people have internally written syntax highlighters but that's about it). So I can't Ctrl+Click to jump to the definition or anything like that. Typically I use VSCode's directory find feature (or CLI tools like grep) to just search the codebase. This does mean weeding through results in comments and such, and makes it really annoying for non-unique variable names.

As for things like type hints, I end up switching between tabs or splitting the editor to view the definitions. Although that hasn't been a huge problem for me since the types of these languages aren't as robust as more mainstream languages.
