Re: Find in Outline (was Re: Compiling rpg source)

[Kurt Anderson <kurt.anderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You mean mouse-over a data element in the code?  Why not just enhance content-assist?   

The mouse-over thing might be cool, but I guess it depends on how it's designed.  When I'm on a web-page with a lot of these, they drive me nuts (sorry David).  Personally I'd worry about a performance hit.

Also - what information would be presented upon a mouse-over?  It would have to be more than just the definition to replace the purpose of an Outline Find.  An outline find would get you to a variable's definition, but also to the location of the variable's definition.   Now that I think about it, a find would also be neat to see where multiple local definitions of the same variable name are located (although that's merely a nicety).

Wouldn't it be cooler if the definition showed up in a fly-over when your mouse hovered over a data element.

Might be cool to be able to select a data element name in the source and have a function to "find in outline".

I heartily agree!  Anyone else?
