Sometimes when reading/changing nonfamiliar code, where the heavy use of inheritance and method overriding has been used, the understanding of why things work the way they do, constant switching/jumping between various editor windows is required. Quite quickly it can get rather confusing with all the navigation that is going on through scores of tabs that are squeezed together so tightly, that the class names are reduced to couple of letters per tab.... What if it was possible to see implementations of inherited (and not overriden) methods right there within the code of the subclass itself, as though they were part of the class's own definition (which they ceartainly are in some sense)? These inline views of the super implementations should of course be visually clearly distinguished (the sort of highlighting as with the file compare has, would be nice). This is just a raw idea and I believe it could be further detailed and improved, but for now I leave it at that in case this bug will be rejected...
Sounds worth to be investigated. Just to be sure, do you know about - Navigate > "Open Super Implementation"? - the fact that you can select the method declaration and press Ctrl+T?
Yes - I'm aware of this and I'm using it now, but the downside of this is that the workbench soon becomes overcrowded by swarm of editors and the navigation becomes hell on earth... This feature should of course be optional and off by default (for I assume it is rather costly behavior). (btw: the list of currently available keyboard shortcuts in a more easily readable form would be helpful, but that would be another bug, I suppose)
>(btw: the list of currently available keyboard shortcuts in a more easily >readable form would be helpful, but that would be another bug, I suppose) Correct :-)
