VA Options -> Advanced -> General -> Execute Goto upon Ctrl+Left-Click in text editor
so ctrl+click on any symbol will take you to the definition / declaration, and it works even in comments. So when you refer to any symbol in comments you can easily jump to it to read its description.
2. Symbol comment in tooltip. You don't even need to jump to read the description of a symbol if you turn on
VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Display comments from source files when available
Thanks, this is interesting. Actually, my wish would be to have browsing capabilities of documentation located in C++ sources, as easy as it is now to browse through the code itself. You certainly know systems like Doxygen. There are great, yet, they lack 2 features by nature: hyper-linking of documentation embedded in comments (no need to access a HTML documentation that is separated from the source code), and syntax hightlighting of comments in C++ code. Eg. <b>This is bold</b> would appear in bold in comments.
Not difficult to imagine that this would be a killer feature... ;-)
