Hi,

I have a small feature request:

When I use CTRL+ALT+M (VAssistX.ListMethodsInCurrentFile) to find a function in a header file, the result leaves me at the head of the line with the declaration.
It would be nice if it would leave me at the function name, so I could immediately hit F12 (VAssistX.GotoImplementation) and look at the definition without having to scroll to the left first.
This is how I normally find definitions when the header may define functions spread over multiple source files.

Thanks!

I have put in an enhancement request for you:

case=33919

Some alternative methods to ease the jump:
  • Use alt+o first to switch to the corresponding cpp file before you use alt+m

  • Use ctrl+click on the function name if you've turned on this option:

    • VA Options -> Advanced -> General -> Execute Goto upon Ctrl+Left-Click in text editor

Thanks for the response. I just discovered the CTRL+click goto command and think it's quite useful.
Unfortunately, it requires a mouse movement which is suboptimal.

The ALT+O method only works when the definition happens to be in the source file with the same name as the header, which is not always true.

Hopefully this will be an easy enhancement to implement.
