It would be great to have a goto option when editing large scripts.
A single click on the object highlights it within the rest of the script which is excellent but some sort of right click (CTRL +...) for a goto would be excellent.
The reverse would also be useful ie click on the function name and be able to find all situations where the function is called.
Thanks

Re: Goto function in script editor
This would be realy helpfull! Is this something that we can expect in V5?Steve James wrote:It would be great to have a goto option when editing large scripts.

What would even be nicer is: if you change the signature of a function, all places where an incorrect call is made to the function, is highlighted. But I think this is difficult due to the nature of JavaScript. Something like TypeScript (http://www.typescriptlang.org/) could be used to introduce typesafety to JS.
I'm just thinking oud loud

This is unlikely to be in the initial release of V5. Beyond that, we have plans to let you display references made from scripts e.g. to a field or table etc, and this could also include use of functions. So the answer is yes, but not initially.dvanhussel wrote:The reverse would also be useful ie click on the function name and be able to find all situations where the function is called.

For info, V5 includes an Outline View within the script editor, where you can see all functions and variables and navigate directly to them.

This feature looks very promising and useful. I'm really looking forward to V5!
