Description Michael Rennie

It would be helpful to have some sort of in-editor navigation similar to the Java navigation in Eclipse:

1. click to see containing object, etc (like hyperlink nav in Eclipse)
2. be able to see the prototypal chain quickly (like F4 in Eclipse)
3. keybinding to open containing object (like F3 in Eclipse)

An important use case here is support to jump to a declaration outside the current file. I.e., jump the editor to a location in another related file. In HTML this could be used to support jumping from HTML file to related CSS/JS files.

The current code fires off the hover in too many circumstances IMO. It'll *always* show the open hover for the file to the left of the cursor (even when the cursor is off the end of the line).


If I have the following with the cursor at the '^' I get the open hover for Event Target:

define([
   'orion/EventTarget',  ^ 'orion/util',    'orion/webui/littlelib'

For me we want to limit the display to when the cursor is actually *inside* one of the file specs (i.e. between the quotes) so we don't 'accidentally' show it as often.

This feature has been in Orion since 8.0, and we have provided open decl (F3 support) in bug 427299. We can open enhancements / bugs in their own reports.
