How do you quickly navigate inside a source file using emacs ?

I am a C++ dev. I am now able to follow up symbols or files using LSP,/projectile/ivy/transient aso... but inside one file, I have difficulties going quickly up function by function, or by if/for statement. Do you know a convenient way to do this ? I am interested in any navigation tips as well ! Thanks for your help !

consult-line

And I'm using outline-minor-mode

(setq-local outline-regexp " *//\\(-+\\)")

(outline-minor-mode 1)

Now every comment starting with // followed by one or more - like

//- Function this

//-- Function that

//--- Some important code

is treated like a heading by outline. So, you can use all the outline functions for navigating and folding.

Also you can use consult-outline (if installed) to jump quickly to a heading.

To make it even more convenient I recommend the packages bicycle and logos.
