Oh, some other thoughts/requests/ideas: - Xocde-style refactoring for renaming symbols inline in the current scope. Sublime-style renaming would be OK too. - For the jump-to-symbol stuff, don't actually change the view to the other symbol. Perhaps make an alternate command that lets you see that source but in a hover/floaty/popup window so that you don't have to navigate back to where you were.
