Once you are in execution you can simply type the name of the function 
in the text box of the source window and hit the "Enter" key.  This 
sounds like what you were saying was too slow.  I'm at a loss to imagine 
anything that would be faster unless one is a really poor typist.  This 
does not require that you know the name of the source file.

The "file" button then "Open Source" will give you a list of the source 
files.  As far as windows systems are concerned, I've tried cygwin, and 
found ddd painfully slow in that environment.   Ubuntu makes it awfully 
easy to set up a dual boot system, and that is something that you might 
find useful.
