I don't use Ebrowse, but `C-c C-b' seems like an obvious choice...

According to the Finding and Viewing node of the Ebrowse manual,
they are used in C++ source buffers.

`C-c C-b' is already bound to c-submit-bug-report in C++ Mode buffers.
How about `C-c C-f' and/or `C-c C-v', which aren't bound, as mnemonics
for "find" and "view"?

They display the declaration or definition of a class member.
