[...] Remove 3 popup menu items to save space: Find Document Usage because Find Usage can be used instead.
Gives a lot of rubbish I didn't want, but can live with it.
I'd also have kept this one, moreover because it's tedious to reproduce it (needs to open find dialog, then select the right search type), but its not really big deal (even though it's sometime hard to find the right match when all opened files appears.
Go to Tag Declaration because Go to Tag Definition is more common.
Hi Nick,
Dissagree strongly about removing go to tag declaration.
Goto tag declaration is very much used in C++ because it gets the whole class declaration, not just the implementation of the specific function. To find the class in the symbols list I have to remember its name which is often not visible at the point of function use. And of course overloaded functions can have several declarations in several classes.
I can see the point for C but it is very useful for other languages.
Even though I haven't the verve Lex had on this, I wonder if I won't miss it. And again, is there an easy way to reproduce its comportment? I don't find this in any other menu.
I can't find anywhere where this change was discussed with users, but maybe thats just my search fu.
I doubt it was discussed, and I perfectly understand it. I don't think Nick thought it worth a complex discussion with the "community" for removing 3 items. But huh, it seems to haven't pleased everybody :)
Go to Line because the toolbar item can be used instead.
For this one I completely agree. I don't know why it was there since it's in the find menu, have a shortcut by default, and I don't think it's a contextual action.
This said, I'd personally rather removed the three "insert" sub-menus: they exists in the edit menu, and I never used them from the contextual menu.
Good suggestion, I completely agree.
I would expect these to be used far less than the find actions, so there is less loss in not having them in the context menu compared to the find options, especially as they actually exist somewhere else (the edit menu) and the find options don't.
If you really want to take the find options out of the context menu, why not put them in the search menu, though the context menu makes more sense since they relate to the current cursor position.
Cheers Lex
I don't use "format" and "commands" sub-menus neither (I use all the entries, but via the shortcuts only) and they are also in the edit menu, but I think they're probably more commonly used.
That's it, my two cents.
