Build Identifier: 

When developing on sub classes it would be useful to see the inherted methods from the parent classes.  At the moment these parent methods are not visible and therefore a black box and makes the code difficult to maintain.

Suggest.
Include the inhertited methods as collapsable sections in a different colour in the sub class for easy reference.

Thanks,
Robert

Reproducible: Always

additional:
By default make the method section collapsed so that you only see the method signature.  If you want to see the code in the method then you expand the collapsable section.

This will ensure that your code development content pain remains neat and does not become over crowded with too much code and methods you might not be interested in.

The editor just shows the contents of a file, and we're not going to change that.

To see the inherited methods and jump to them, you can use the Quick Outline (press Ctrl+O *twice*) or the Type Hierarchy view.
