If I am using a Macintosh computer, what is the alternate to using the F3 key in Editor to open declarations?

If you are using a Macintosh computer, just keep the CTRL key pressed and move the mouse cursor over the header file or function whose declaration or definition you want to open. The hyperlink for that header file or function enables.

Click the hyperlink to switch to the required declaration or definition, as the following figure shows:
