So it would be neccessary to type `Classname::length` to find it?
No, just `c::l` — assuming there are no other symbols matching that, or few enough that you are willing to walk over them by pressing the Down key.
Ok it helps if I don't have a use of `length` in front of me, but then why would I be searching for it?
I don’t know. You suggested yourself that there are cases when you are “likely to actually want to search in the sidebar”.
Myself, I think I more often browse the symbols list than use go-to, but it’s hard to explain why. I just know I need a particular symbol, I know it’s in this file, but I don’t know on which line, and the symbols list is the easiest way to find it.
