Improvements to the variable viewer
Posted: Sat Sep 11, 2010 1:21 am
I propose the following improvement to the "variable viewer" I'm talking about the one in the tools menu.
The first thing I propose is to rename it to "Variable Explorer" or some other name different than the "Variable Viewer" on the debugger menu.
The second change I propose is to stop inserting the name of the var in the editor when you double click on a variable name.
I think it is useless functionality and it is very easy to insert things on your code without noticing
, either remove or add a button like on the structure viewer, so no more inadverted inserts.
And the third change I propose is to locate, list or jump to the file and line where the var is declared if you double click on a variable name on the list. I think adding a button named like "Jump to declare" would be even better as it will make the functionality more intuitive to discover.
