[Geany] Feature request: combo box with classes/methods

[Filip Gruszczyński]

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.
