I use gvim now, but long ago I used the editor in TkDesk, which had a

TkDesk under Mac OS X, it didn't work.

Emacs works like that. M-x grep for the thing you want, then (as is
normal for that type of list window in Emacs) middle-click to take you
there. (I also have F7 and F8 bound to allow me to work my way back
and forth the list of search results/compilation errors/etc. This
choice of keys is in memory of the Turbo Pascal environment...)
