        So - that is one way :-) another way is to grep for the UI strings,
which usually come from a .src file; so

git --no-pager grep -2 "Create Report in Design View"
dbaccess/source/ui/app/app.src-String RID_STR_NEW_REPORT
dbaccess/source/ui/app/app.src-{
dbaccess/source/ui/app/app.src:    Text [ en-US ] = "Create Report in Design View..." ;
dbaccess/source/ui/app/app.src-};
dbaccess/source/ui/app/app.src-

        Maps the string to the ID, then grep for that RID_STR_...

git --no-pager grep -2 RID_STR_NEW_REPORT
dbaccess/source/ui/app/AppDetailView.cxx-
dbaccess/source/ui/app/AppDetailView.cxx-    case E_REPORT:
dbaccess/source/ui/app/AppDetailView.cxx:        rList.push_back( TaskEntry( ".uno:DBNewReport", 
RID_STR_REPORT_HELP_TEXT, RID_STR_NEW_REPORT, true ) );
dbaccess/source/ui/app/AppDetailView.cxx:        rList.push_back( TaskEntry( 
".uno:DBNewReportAutoPilot", RID_STR_REPORTS_HELP_TEXT_WIZARD, RID_STR_NEW_REPORT_AUTO ) );
dbaccess/source/ui/app/AppDetailView.cxx-        _rData.nTitleId = RID_STR_REPORTS_CONTAINER;
dbaccess/source/ui/app/AppDetailView.cxx-        break;

        So somewhere thereabouts :-)

        There was (IIRC) an easy-hack to create some web infrastructure that
would help do this lookup (particularly with accelerator keys) for new
developers - that'd be an awesome thing to build of course - a bit of
php (or somesuch) interfacing to a database built by some 'git greps ?'

        All the best,

                Michael.
