[Qt-creator] Crazy improvement idea #2

[Michael Jackson]

I think this is a good idea. Another feature along the same lines is when you hover over a macro I want to see the fully resolved code even for deeply nested macros. I miss this from Eclipse.

 

Just my 2 Cents.

I think it would be faster, without the abrubt diconnect of switching files. 

 

Anyway, I'm throwing these ideas out there to see what sticks. If people like them, then I file a report. If people detest them then I don't bother. 

 

As a refinement to the idea, if there was a documentation string, that would be shown. As a refinement to the refinement, maybe the pipus is an doc strng editor so that you can type one if it doesn't already exist?

 

I'm just trying to make development easier and take it to the next level.

Isn't something like this slower than just pressing F2 when the cursor is on a function? 

 

I am assuming that the overlay would appear after some delay, because otherwise moving the mouse around could make the navigation pretty confusing.

Hi,

I started working on a similar feature, but never exceeded the state of an early concept. The results of this concept weren't promising enough for me to keep on working further on this.

If you are interested in participating in the development  of the feature I'ld suggest you to open a report for this on bugreports.qt.io and I add you to the patch on gerrit as a reviewer, so we can discuss details of the implementation and functionality there.

Greetings

David

After my auto commenting of } comes my next crazy editor idea... Function popups.

After hovering or clicking on a function being called in code, a pop-up of the finction's source I appears and can be easily scrolled or closed.

As an enhancement, maybe only show the first few lines and the last few lines as those are likely of they most interest.
