You can open the controller file and move action method.

e.g. WebRoot/protected/views/site/index.php -> WebRoot/protected/controllers/SiteController.php::actionIndex()

1. open a view file
2. Right-click on Editor
3. Navigate > Go To Action

You can open the view file for action method of the controller.(similar to Go To Action)

1. open a controller file
2. move the caret to action method
3. Right-click on Editor
4. Navigate > Go To View

If you set the keymap for this action, it's more useful.(Please, search with "php")
If you set the theme on main.php, you will go to there.

// protected/main.php
// e.g. set themes/basic
array(
    // something...
    'theme' => 'basic',
);

You can open the view file from parameter of render and renderPartial methods. This is available on the Controller or View files.

e.g.

public actionIndex() {
    // something ...

    $this->render('foo', array('bar' => $bar));
    $this->renderPartial('bar');
}

When you use the render method like above, if foo.php exists, you do the following.

1. Hold down Ctrl key on the first parameter (foo)
2. Wait to be changed string color to blue
3. Click (foo)

It will go to theme file if you use theme.

Provide support for code completion on the View file.

e.g. webapp/protected/controllers/SiteController.php

class SiteController extends Controller {
    // something...

    public function actionIndex(){
        // ...
        $this->render('foo', array(
            'var1' => $var,
            'var2' => 'bar',
        ));
    }
}

e.g. webapp/protected/views/site/index.php

$ // [Ctrl + Space] popup $var1, $var2, $this, ...
$this-> // [Ctrl + Space] popup SiteController methods and fields
