Cross Module Searching

I am developing what is turning out to be a huge software project with FireFly - 18 forms and 31 modules (and counting....). It's coping very well with this task.

However, I am now losing track of where to find functions which I have declared in a module, and the lack of search ability across modules is a serious omission.

If searching across modules isn't possible I wonder if it might be viable for a window to be presented somewhere which shows all defined functions across the whole project, and clicking on one of the functions takes you to that module?

Slightly related note which I've reported earlier as a wishlist item - could we please see the Explorer window sorted alphabetically? With nearly 50 forms/modules in the list it is getting hard to find modules in the haphazard order.

I agree. Project wide find/search/replace is very high on the wish list.

This is something that will also find its way into FireFly. It is similar to JellyFish's F4 function list.

Your wish has been granted. I just added the required code and now the nodes will display sorted.
