In the current release you have to index your project to get this
feature. In the next release, we use a separate parser, so you don't
even need to index. Additionally, since we use a parser, many more type
of files get a popup and the popup contents can (optionally) show
#define, #pragma mark, #warning, and/or #error.

That sounds cool... I hope that gets implemented in the next version.
Another useful feature I want (unless it's already there and I missed
it) is a functions/methods menu. Codewarrior has had this for as long
as I can remember, and it's very useful. Basically, it's a menu at the
top of the editor that displays a list of all of the functions in the
file, and you can select a function to jump right to it. Also, there
are #pragma commands that let you put custom items into the menu,
including separators. I's very handy.
Both of these would be great.

Not sure if this is the right list for this, but what is a rather
immensely useful function in a code editor, is the ability to FOLD
functions away so they only show as their header line.
This makes code writing FAR easier as once you finish a function you
"fold" it away. Maybe a key command or a special checkbox next to the
function name would be a good implementation of this. Obviosuly the
code
is still there, it is just not visible and allows for easier searching
thru lines and lines of code for what you want.
Farl,
I think this would be amazingly useful. Why don't you suggest it to
Apple's Project-Builder list (www.lists.apple.com), in case those guys
aren't listening on the Cocoa list?
Excellent idea though!
