Description Will Smythe

The Java editor has a very handy feature: a popup outline view (accessible with CTRL+0). The view shows the structure of the current file (like our Outline view), but has a text field at the top to filter the view. This makes it really easy to jump to a specific function or variable declaration in a file. There is no good alternative to this today, except for the "Find" function, which is not nearly as clean or fast.

Pressing CTRL+O again (in the Java editor) shows an outline that contains functions/variables in the parent class (if applicable) and grandparents, etc. I am not sure what this means for EGL, but it would be nice to be able to quickly jump to library functions that got included via the USE statement.

Assigning to XiaoBin to take a look. Since we are at half of I13, the last dev iteration, we are not likely to add new features unless it is a few lines of code. 

If it takes more then a day, I think we will put that to "future" or "1.0"
