Re: Enhancement requests Ctrl Space

Having something like this would rock (i.e. RPGDocs). There is more ILE
being done everyday and I hope the tooling matures in those area's much like
the default Java Eclipse functionality has. One feature that I love is being
able to click on a method using Ctrl key and go directly to that methods
definition and code without having to click open the file manually. The
other feature I really like is the "return to last edit" button. This saves
me a lot of time (when in Java) because I am constantly going from file to
file making changes or just looking around and having the ability to easily
go back to the last edit location can save a minute or more of looking
around.

Those are my thoughts.  I think some of this was brought up during the early
releases of WDSC 5.x and a lot got ruled out just because of the language
differences and where the compiler resides and the ability to resolve to an
object appropriately.

Vern, maybe I'm missing something but I don't see any help for my own
routines in Visual Studio.  Typically it just brings up a list of parameter
names and types, but no other information.  You DO get hints for system
functions, but there's no capability that I can see for commenting your own
procedures.

That's where a standardized commenting technique like Javadoc would be nice
for RPG; it would allow us to create our own help text which the IDE would
then recognize.
