what is an efficient way or shortcut to find where something was defined? like I want to find definition of "map"

Anywhere where it appears in the inner syntax. e.g. when you do term "map"

However, map is actually defined automatically by the datatype package during the definition of the list datatype. So all that will do is take you to that invocation of datatype.

You could probably somehow get a hang of the actual definition, but that would be in terms of all kinds of internal stuff from the datatype package and not be very illuminating.
