I think there is a slight confusion. I am not talking about completion, but about jumping to the right place in file. This is why basically only classes and methods/functions would be necessary. Right now I have to use hierarchy tree on the left, but I have small screen and I always hide this tree. Toolbar is small and useful for jumping. This is how this combo is used in 2005. I am not talking about completions. Completions are cool and I use them a lot, but that's completely different thing. When I have large source file, I would like to be able to jump to the part I want to change quickly and not search for it in code or in tree.
This is difficult because the types to display you want to configure are highly filetype dependent. So you would have to configure the displayed types for each filetype.
As Dominic mentioned, wouldn't the symbol auto completion be very similar to what you request? It shows up whenever you start typing a known symbol (class, method name or whatever) and provide a list of known symbols for completion. This list appears by default after the fourth entered character of a known symbol but you can of course change the amount of characters needed to trigger the list. Additionally, you can trigger the list with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Space.
I have no idea, where else it could be put. Toolbar seems a natural place.
I don't think (anymore) that the toolbar is the best place for such a thing. Maybe it would be better in the sidebar, withinin the tab for the symbol list and place it ontop of the symbol list.
