Interesting. So it seems I should add 'git grep' to my list of things
to look at. 

I learned before that there are also different personal working styles
for different people. So you need to find the tools that works best with

Well my learning phase went over the last 20 years or so (and I am still
learning new things one after another....). I mastered cscope and
ctags only in last three years. I used Kscope some time before, but
there were too much mouse action needed. Not very good.
