Oh, let me add one last feature request ...

when you click on an item on the Symbol list ... rather than just moving the cursor to the line item, it would be nice if the newly selected line were brought to the top 1/3 of the screen. This would make the action much more immediately available and remove the unnecessary up and down scanning for where the current line is.

I love navigating classes with the Go To Symbol ⌘T dialog. So much so, in fact, that I now have started keeping it open all the time so that I have quicker access but also to just give me context of all the methods available in the class. 

That said, I've noticed that as you modify the file -- while keeping the Go To Symbol dialog open -- the symbol links become out of sync and the only way I know of to fix this is to close it and then re-open it. Is this something that could be automatically kept up-to-date? If not, is there a hotkey to refresh it? 

Finally, as I've started to keep this window open I started thinking of things I'd love to see added if possible:
  • Docking. Could this window not be docked into the same location as the file explorer? If this were done well it could be really nice.
  • Public/Private/Protected. If there were some subtle but always-on font distinctions between access modifiers this could be quite useful. I'd love to also see "static" called out in some way but obviously don't want to clutter the font palette too much.
  • Signature Balloons. If you held your cursor over a method it would be nice to see the signature of that method. This would save a lot of toing and frowing in a file.
