It would be nice to be able to toggle (hide/show) entries in the find symbol window (for example: public, private, protected, class, structure, enumerator, macro, etc). The information is there already, reflected by the icons and color coding.

If I might add to this suggestion: I mostly use find references to check on existing uses of a symbol - but somtimes it is just easier to not check them in the order presented within the find references result list. Hence I would like some indication as to which reference I have checked, similar to the visited links coloring on a web page.

Or, even better (but probably more work to implement): Some means to hide certain references by manual selection (checkboxes for instance). Unhiding could be done by using the hide/unhide checkboxes already attached to the file names.

menih the FSIW dialog is designed for filtering, and finding things, not as a code browser. So for now we are not interested in trying to add this sort of filtering to this dialog.


sl@sh there is already a request to allow the DEL key to delete items from the Find References Results window, which looks like it would do what you want. Not a very fancy solution, but it should be close enough to be quite useful.

feline, I am not debating what it was designed to do. All I am saying is that it would be very helpful to also use it in the capacity that I've suggested. You've mentioned filtering, well, this is exactly what I am asking... If you wish to call it 'code browser' that's fine.

This statement originally came from Support's reply in this thread:

http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4315

this does not really explain why this should not be done, so I have put in a feature request. It is an interesting idea.

For now you may find this information on searching in FSIW and OFIW useful:
