Hello!

I'd appreciate the following features:

# allow scrolling with mouse wheel in procedures list (at the moment the scrolling is always done in the main window)
# allow to sort procedures-list by alphabet (usually I don't care where a particular procedure is - but I know their name and with sorting it would be a lot easier to find them)
# option to jump from the main window directly to a procedure (the equivalent of 'Jump to Marker' >> 'Jump to Procedure' )

Thanks in advance!

+1, but I'm wondering if it's just a mouse setting for the OS anyway?

> allow to sort procedures-list by alphabet

It already can; it's a Preferences setting.

> option to jump from the main window directly to a procedure

How would that work? Can you give an example?

Like CTRL+DoubleClick ?

When double-clicking on the name of a procedure that is defined in the current source while holding down the Ctrl Key, the cursor automatically jumps to the declaration of this procedure.

From documentation.

Maybe he means a hotkey to jump from the current procedure to the next procedure in the code?

Nalor's request could simply mean "click on the Procedure name in the list, jump to the procedure in the code" ~which of course already works by default, but maybe (not sure) isn't mentioned in the help?

Or, he could mean a similar method but more advanced - a Procedure List that lists the procedures of the current file plus all those that are Xincluded - now that would be handy!

Hello again!

I had something simple like right click on a procedure name and select "Jump to Procedure" in the context menu in my mind (the same as there is an entry 'Jump to Marker' available in the context menu).
This way it would be easy to jump even to a procedure defined in an included file...

I just tried CTRL+Doubleclick and it does what I wanted, just wondering why it's such a hidden feature? I mean I've never used 'Jump to Marker' in the past - but it's available in the context menu... and this (in my eyes) usefull feature isn't available in the context menu...

And lastly: Thanks 'PB' - you're right, it's already possible to sort the procedures alphabetically in the preferences! Never noticed this settings before..

So only my 'main' feature request is really not possible at the moment: use the mouse wheel in the procedure-list. Usually I'd expect that at least after clicking into this area with the left mouse button (and so making it the active 'gadget') the mouse wheel should allow scrolling through the list. But it does always scroll the main window..

I already asked and freak said no. Something about windows controls and/or design of the toolbox?
I cannot tell you how many times my code scrolls away because I "think" the Procedures tool has the focus.

+1, This is incredibly aggravating.
If the procedures list has the focus and you use the mouse wheel and can't scroll the procedure list maybe you could prevent scrolling the main window while the procedures list has the focus.
