Description Christian Lenz 2014-03-21 09:17:44 UTC 
As I see it in Chrome dev tools, when I open a file with Ctrl + o and than Ctrl + Shift + o to go to the method, it only works for the current open file. In Netbeans when I want to go to symbol (for my example in JS) I see all other available files in the other projects and that sucks. Maybe it would be better if we can have an option to set it on or off.


Cheers.

Chris

I know the Navigator but It will not shrink after searching for the right symbol, because sometimes it's to much inside it and then I have to use the arrow keys to navigate. The search disappears and when I want to search again, I have to open the navigator and hit the character. Not really intuitive I think. And yes I know the plugin from Geertjan Quick Member Search where the navigator is such decoupled window/floated window, but after navigate to the right method, the navigator doesn't appears. I would like to have the same functionality as in chrome. I think intelliJ has such feature its's called file structure and you can call it via Ctrl + F12, it's like the navigator but only a little overlay and it disappears after navigate to the method.

So I would prefer a new little overlay which is not a complete new window. It would be nice to have such little popup like the Generate dialog. I will have a look, maybe I can create such thing but it would be cool to have it natively in netbeans.
