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.

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.

Agree it would be nice if the symbol window was synched. Rather than dock
it, I'd rather it reflected the front most window.

Ahh Tim, that's a better idea. That would allow us to position a single
symbol window wherever we like.

p.s. if I were to get greedy then I'd say why not do both but forced to
choose one I prefer your option.

Ideally it would update, but it’s not yet handled.
