Hi,
Lazarus has option "Show Class/Proc Hint" which displays method name
(with light-green background) as the top line in source editor, only
if the method's body is longer than number of lines in source editor.
Maybe new option "Show Proc var block" for permanent displaying var
block in long methods would be enough? Jumps between code and
declaration would not be needed.
If such a thing is implemented, then why not make it as the 'local
variables' debug dialog, a separate floating window, maybe stay-on-top ?
If you put it at the top of the source editor, it risks to take a lot
of space out
of the source editor window, which kind of defeats the purpose, I
suppose.
- Clone the current source editor, so you get another window.
- Scroll it to the block you want
- Resize it as needed
- Select "Lock Page" from the tabs popup menu
(This will prevent, codetools from scrolling this window, if you
navigate in the unit)
The result:
- you keep the variables in view
- if you "jump to declaration" of a variable (that is not visible in the
current window), it will jump to it in the "locked" window
- if you jump back to previous location, you will be back in the
unlocked window
