Module Function List

[Anonymous]

I'm getting into the FireFly way of designing projects now, and the following is something that I do regularly - it sure would save me a bunch of time if there was something could be done about it.

Problem Statement:
When I'm developing code I've got a bunch of library routines in modules that I've developed over a long period of time, and I'm always referring to those modules to recall what the name of the function was and/or the parameters the function takes. This involves having to load the module then locate the function of interest. I've even taken to loading the module in an external editor, but whichever way I do it is a bit cumbersome.

Solution:
To have a narrow pane on the left/right of the code window, where the modules in the project could be selected from a combobox at the top. Upon selecting a module from the combobox a pane (or listbox) below shows the list of available functions, sorted alphabetically. Clicking on any of these options shows the function header complete with parameter list below.

Yeah, tools like that would make coding a lot more convenient. In addition to your idea, I am also working on ways to extend the interface so that items like source code formatting, code snippet libraries, etc... can be easily integrated.

... code snippet libraries, etc ...

This would be great ... seems like I figure how "Item A" works and then move on to another item but then when I go back to create another "Item A" I spend alot of time relearning.

I am using TreePad Lite from http://www.treepad.com to keep code snippets and any notes I might have on them.
