  • Access functions, methods, classes etc. using wildcards
  • View program structure. See all the functions, methods, classes etc. in an entire project in a hierarchical tree and go to any item
• Smart incremental techniques only scan changed source files when building the source database, ensuring fast browser updates
• Popup a list of all functions, methods, classes etc. in the current source file and go to any one
• Go to the next or previous function
• See the current function name on the status bar
• Locate and open language include files
• Perform statement and bracket matching
