There is a nice little add-on called RockScroll.
see http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingRockScroll.aspx for details.
Can you guys make it a part of VAX? If the idea is not copy righted of course.

VA Outline is designed to give you an overview of the current file:

VA Outline is an awesome feature though it serves a bit different purpose. If you could merge rockscroll and VA outline that would be a killer. Something like a click on a scroll brings VA outline with corresponding methods/functions. That is similar to metascroll when
it shows a code snippet.
BTW thanks for metalscroll ...

Can you explain what features of metalscroll you are looking for in VA Outline?

For me the most important feature in RockScroll/MetalScroll is to be able to see where are code changes, breakpoints and search highlights by looking at the corresponding color markers in the scroll. This is not something the VA Outline could do, because it's more related to the location of lines in the document itself, and being able to scroll directly to them.

Also, there will be no MetalScroll support for VS2010, so Whole Tomato would be a pioneer if that was done.

We are considering adding some form of file overview to indicate things like Find References Results, so if this was added it could house this type of information:

case=23536

As for MetalScroll support for VS2010, remember that VS2010 is still a moving target. It is possible support will be added once the IDE has been finished and has shipped.
