Currently, structures, prototypes, constants, and interfaces are crammed into the "variables" tab which doesn't make sense to begin with. It's also odd that macros are listed under the "procedures" tab.

It would be nice if instead of "variables" it would be called "overview" and macros would be moved over into there as well. It would also be nice if this pane could be split vertically so that I can see macros/structures below procedures without having to switch tabs back and forth, since I'm generally using the procedure list to navigate the code and referencing macro/struct for available types.

Yeah, I really would like those tabs to be floating windows that remembered their position like debug and others. Then you could see Variables update after clicking a Procedure. That would be NICE.

I rarely use this tab for actually looking up variables since it seems to only work on the global scope.

Exactly. It is utterly useless in its current form. It screams for more utility like scanning the current Procedure and populating the variables defined. Think how cool that would be while editing your procedure and not having to scroll up scroll down to remember what that variable was called or its data type?
