My binary has classes - i wish to quickly jump to a class/member function however IDAs goto does not use the displayed function name e.g.

Displayed : SomeFunction(void *, int)
Actual Function for goto .SomeFunction__FPvi

worse with class names there is __ instead of MyClass::SomeFunction

is there a way or plugin where i can type in some characters of a function name and IDA will list be all functions which match this name quickly?

You can press Ctrl-L to pop up a list of all symbols in the disassembly. Then, much like in the disassembly itself, you can press Alt-T to search in that list (Ctrl-T to search next). Not exactly what you're looking for, but it works well enough.

On a side note, Ctrl-L also works in the Structures and Enums windows.

thanks that is indeed helpful - ALT+T doesnt do much tho - you can just start typing while the window is open - i would have hoped that ALT+T would search also substrings within function names

I'm pretty sure that Alt-T does search substrings actually (it pops up a separate search window).
