Yes, it would be a bit more complicated, but probably OK when the user got used to it. But that's what makes it more powerful.
It is not minor issue, IMHO, if code navigation is difficult and complicated to use, it is not worth using.
It depends on your point of view as to whether it's difficult to navigate in 2 dimensions rather than one. Also it depends on how each are implemented.
I still don't see how it is more powerfull then exisiting navigation.
Because if you go to other places outside of code navigation by just clicking notebook tabs and editor positions, it becomes very tedious to switch back through a number (e.g. > 10) of different positions in different documents when you want to only go to the last code point in the current document. I regularly have this problem.
Documents navigation sounds interesting, but only as additional feature, not as replace of existing code navigation.
Once implemented, it will be an additional feature, unless enough people think code navigation should also be changed.
Here is list of my critical requirements for IDE. If IDE don't have even one of them I think it is not good. Currently Geany match all of them, thanks a lot to devs and contributors. I hope Geany will stay this way in future.
- should be fast (if you only 2 times faster then eclipse you are
too slow to be usefull) 2) code highlight 3) code navigation 4) bookmarks 5) ability to run make, parse compiler output 6) ability to run scripts (.sh, .py and others) 7) ability to run compiled program 8) ability to search in directory
Those are all the features I hate most!
Just joking ;-)
