Hi, It does seem like the generic tools are too generic for you.
As for ECB, you can reconfigure the windows to be just one thing on the side with the bits you want, or even just put speedbar in the side. There is also eassist (in contrib) that has some method navigation stuff you might like. If you need help writing some new thing let me know.
