When I use incremental find (CTRL+K), it ends up selecting a range of characters in StlyedText, and scrolling vertically so that the range is placed about 1/3rd down from the top. I see the search hit, but I have no idea which method I am in. This is a general problem when using search and incremental search. An overall improvement to the editor would be to place the current "model path" in the status bar. For example, the method name, or the nested class name followed by the member name. Basically, whatever is highlighted in the outline, but take the treepath from the outline and generate a string. Another improvement would be to have smarted verical scrolling. Sometimes the method declaration is just one line off the screen.
The current context can be seen either in the Java Outline page or the Members view
I was probably using the debug perspective, or "Link with Editor" was not enabled. I know some of you guys don't even have the outline view around in the java perspective anymore. The status bar is mostly unused, so I think your considering this enhancement makes sense.
