Title: Show funcs feature!
Post by: JohnF on April 30, 2005, 09:38:24 AM
Pelle, you kindly added displaying the function of where the cursor is when debugging.

It would also be handy to see the same when not debugging. For example, I have various functions with hundreds of lines of code each, I search from the top for a particular word, the IDE finds the word that may be at the bottom of a large function. At present one has to scroll maybe a few hundred lines to find out which function one is in.

I agree, that would be nice... probably the most straight forward way to do that would be to boldface the current function in the project panel's function list for each source file and scroll it into view.

Or, display it in the status bar as it is in debug mode.

If I ever need to build a function list in the source editor, for something more useful than this, I will add it - otherwise not.

Ok.

I'll adapt the Listfuncs add-in to do it.
