I am a C++ dev. I am now able to follow up symbols or files using LSP,/projectile/ivy/transient aso... but inside one file, I have difficulties going quickly up function by function, or by if/for statement. Do you know a convenient way to do this ? I am interested in any navigation tips as well ! Thanks for your help !

See my reply above. You can use either thing-cmd.el or find-where.el for that. You just need to define "statements of a given type" as a THING or define a predicate that is true for them. Or if their text has some property (even just face from font-locking) then isearch-prop.el will help.
