One minor change: putting ':' in front of class name makes navigotor require full match.

So the list of options is now:

line number
'CAT' lists all elements where class name or member name contains 'CAT' (case ignored)
'STRING:CAT' lists all elements where class name contains 'STRING' and member name contains 'CAT' (case ignored) (so that includes e.g. StringBuffer::Cat)
':STRING:CAT' lists all elements where class name is equal 'STRING' and member name contains 'CAT' (case ignored) (does not include StringBuffer::)

'CAT' doesn't work but the second two cases do.

EDIT (moved from other thread): The ability to switch between declaration and definition would be good. Also, the current version is a little hard to read for me - even with 2560x1440 screen real estate is at a premium and having each member be two lines is not helping. The old version did everything I needed really. I can see how it would be good to be able to browse all versions of GetX() regardless of what class they are in but at the moment, the cost is greater than the benefit. I am happy to FindInFiles "GetX" and then step through them all. Losing the ability to jump between classes and to see all class members quickly and clearly is causing me problems. Have to say I love all the other recent improvements. Just not a fan of losing the class view so far.

EDIT: also, when diving into headers, it was handy for the navigate panel to tell you you're in the class you think you're in. Now I need to scroll up and down to check before I start typing. A big part of navigation is knowing where you are in addition to knowing how to get where you're going Smile

EDIT: I've been using this for a few hours and it really is not doing what I need. Is there any possibility that we could have the new functionality as another tab/option next to the old class view which was really the heart of theIDE UI and was what made it such a pleasure to use.
