No. That's a wrong analogy. There's no way around having to navigate the text of the program back and forth, by character, by word, by statement, by definition and so on. This is bread and butter of people who write code.

If you complain about doing this, this is because you don't know how to perform the basic functions necessary to write code. Heuristically, this is because you are either using a bad editor or didn't learn how to use a decent one.

I.e. your complaint is more comparable to Amazon reviews coming from people who don't know how to use the product and then write something asinine, like that one about a loo brush that feels too rough when used in the capacity of toilet paper (though I believe that one was actually a joke inspired by similarly stupid but less funny reviews).
