[Feature Request] allow searching for class/field/method declarations within the current file #263

Description

@SpaceWalkerRS

The current search dialog allows searching through the entire jar, but sometimes I'm looking for a specific method in the current file. The search dialog or even the ctrl+f search are not convenient when looking for a specific field/method (or even inner class sometimes) in the current file if it's very long.

  • ctrl+f just matches the string, which includes calls to the desired field/method/class and even entirely different entries if the search key is part of their name.
  • ctrl+shift+f searches for declarations through the whole jar, and if you're searching for a method that is implemented by many classes, or if the field/method name appears in several classes, it's a pain to sift through the results.

A variation of the search dialog that is limited to just the current file would be a convenient solution.
