Re: [cdt-dev] open declaration vs open definition

-1.  

I personally would have preferred F3
to toggle between declaration/definition depending on the context so that
it is easy to switch between declaration and definition with only one digit.
 
That being said, considering the other
threads on this list in the past day concerning the evolution of CDT and
the importance of a meaningful end game plan, I would not recommend it
at this time.
