I think the action "Synchronize with source code" is a misnomer. From the name of the action and its associated icon, I expected it to work like the Eclipse outline or "Link with Editor" in the Package Explorer. That is, a single click in the model editor would have highlighted the source code in the code editor, and a double-click would have opened the source file and selected the range. But it doesn't work this way: it does nothing on single-click, and the option actually controls whether double-clicking will open the properties view or a code editor. So, I think it should be named something like "Open in source editor on double-click". It's a bit of a long name for a menu entry though. So maybe just "Open source on double-click".
Hi Nicolas +1 for "Open source on double-click" A single-click action to navigate from the model explorer to the source code editor seemed far too invasive at the time I did this action.
I agree that the label & icon does not fit the real action. "double-click" word in one label seems weird to me. It may be "Enable Navigation to Source Code".
> It may be "Enable Navigation to Source Code". Thing is, the navigation to source code is always enabled and accessible by right-clicking and choosing "Browse code in Text Editor". Since the only purpose of the action is to change the behavior of the double-click, "Open source on double-click" doesn't seem too strange to me.
