Below is an image of 'Find References' in Resharper. Here are a few things I REALLY like about it that would be wonderful in VA's 'Find References'
- The separation of what you are searching for from references found makes the display much less confusing.
- For C# at least, the (configurable) ability to display search results organized by meaningful groupings like "namespace/class/method" really makes the results a LOT more meaningful than groupings like "full path to project/full path to file/method".
- The option to (displayed separately) show textual occurrences can really help to locate comments about usage of a method.
- This one's a biggee: each new search automatically opens a new tab in the search display instead of replacing the previous find.
Thanks!

I like your idea, and have put in an improvement request for this to see what the developers make of it:

About your last idea: are you aware you can clone find references windows by clicking on the last icon?
Thank you, that is great!
I never found 'clone find references' to be useful. I always use Visual Studio spanned completely across 2 monitors, with 4 separate zones of docked windows. I always use 'find references' as a docked window in one of those zones. When I 'clone find references' it creates a new popup (floating) window that I then have to dock at one of the 4 zones for it to be useful. That makes at least two docked VA find references windows instead of one that has a tab for each search. If you take a look at the image above, the tab that has 'Usages of 'Register(...)' on it is a tab within the Resharper 'Find References' window itself -- if I do a new find, it will create a new tab.
Thanks,
Mark. |
