Suggestions for navigating source code :

Jump to definition of word under the cursor; then pop back to where you were. This needs a stack. TheIDE already has some jump to definition capability so maybe one day ...

Another useful thing is the ability to jump back to the last place where you made an actual change to a source file - e.g. if you move to another place in the file to copy a name or something, with a single keystroke you can get back to where you were last doing an actual change.

Ctrl+Tab works well there for going back just fine I think.

As for going back to last change, it is not exactly clean, but I am using undo/redo combo Smile

Anyway I agree I should add a key. Are there any whishes which key it should be?

Ok. There is just a slight difference between Ctrl TAB and a goto/ pop-back stack which is that if you goto within the same source file or visit the same source file more than once (on the stack) the pop-back doesn't quite revisit the places where you did the goto's. But the IDE is impressive - I can't believe how much you've achieved.

Ctrl Backspace would be my choice for "undo to where you were".

some more editor features:

1. code folding

3. better bookmark navigation (like in visual .net studio) - hitting Ctrl-F2 togles Bookmark, hitting F2 goes to next bookmark

4. navigate to beginning/end of the scope when cursor is near '{' or '}'.

(where is 2? Smile

Well, 1. is unlikely in near future.

I believe 4. is there - press Ctrl+[ or Ctrl+]. Or you had something different on mind?

oops, that was supposed to be shift backspace.
Anyway, I guess they're all configurable.

Have you considered adding "undo" to the edit menu? There seems to be no indication that it actually exists - until you try Ctrl Z. It's not in the list of key settings AFAICS. I didn't find redo yet - any hints as to what the shortcut for this is, if it's there ...?

BTW - slickedit also uses undo for going back to last change, but each source file has its own undo history, so you can't get back to the last change until you're in that file.

ok, scratch that question on redo. I just found it on the website and then in the "help index" in UPP. I don't know my way round the documentation yet ... Smile
