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

Good point Sam,
That does indicate that find in the outline would be better.
Of course in an ideal world with lots of resources, we could let you give
the flyover focus by hitting F2, and then you could scroll down and see
the XREF info and click on one of them to navigate to the line of interest.
But this would mean bring up the flyover everytime. I think you are
convincing me about doing a Find in the outline instead.

Thank you very much.

If I can make one comment on what you said:

I am proposing a flyover that would appear when the mouse hovers over a
variable. The flyover would show not only the definition of the

variable

but also where it came from.

Often, after I have located the variable in the outline view, I want to
click on the "where" used references to jump to the code. I'm not sure
how a flyover would work for this.

Hi Sam,

I have opened enhancement request 8938 to track the request for a toolbar
button to collapse the outline view. This sounds like a very simple

thing,

so it should be low-hanging fruit for us.

I have also opened enhancment request 8939 to track the request to make

it

easier to find the definition of a variable. I have pointed to this

thread

and mentioned some of your suggestions such as find in outline view, or
enhanced context assist.

Of course, getting around to implement this will be subject to available
resource.

I hope this helps,
