Wouldn't it be sweet if each time I hovered over a function, I would get a little icon beside its tooltip showing whether it was public, protected, or private? Same with when I press Alt+G?

One edge case with this, when a function is overloaded VA does not know which overload you are calling. This is why alt-g often produces a menu, listing several destinations, and asking you to pick one.

Different overloads can have different access states.

Show VA View and hover over the function / class, and you will see the class outline. VA View shows you the access icon for each item. Not quite the same, but this should help.

VA *always* produces a menu, even if the function you are on is not overloaded. Really it should switch to h file if in cpp for that function, and vice versa...

And if it is overloaded, you could just not show an access icon, show all access variations, or show a question mark.

cheers,
