Find references output could be more useful

[elextr]

Find references on a function name gives a list of the files:lines where it occurs, would be good if the line content could be included to help select which to click on to goto, ie file:line: the line.

For extra credits you could generate the inset subwindow showing the list and the context of the selected item a la Vscode ... what Scintilla won't do that ... bah!!!

Well, yeah, but it's not so simple. That would require opening each file (if not open already), dealing with various line endings to get to the correct line (or possibly feeding it to an invisible Scintilla editor) and getting those lines.

That one is waiting for Colomban :-).

I bet thats what Vscode does, that inset is a little view on the whole file that contains the selected definition, even though that file is not open in any tabs, see the yellow compile warnings markers in the scrollbar, way below the grey line that marks current line position.

Well, that makes it much easier, just a Scintilla view inside a Scintilla view, just make annotations able to take a widget as their content, Columban would knock that up in a jiffy ;-P.

So yeah, done in the non-Colomban way ;-).
