The ideal IDE

October 27, 2007 | Filed by Marius under: desktop software, delphi

If anybody from CodeGear is lost on this page, take a look at this article: The ideal IDE. Excellent list of ideas to have in an IDE.

This one is my favorite:

Code searching:

  • A very fast way to get from the current function you are in to any caller or to any function the function is calling (and class definitions, …)
  • Ability to instantly search for a specific artifact (kind of like google / windows live search). As I type it in, I see the filtered results. This is NOT the find feature.

I think the new CodeGear IDE for Ruby and Rails has something similar. But it is integrated into the IDE like small helper windows. What would be neat is some keyboard shortcuts to quickly navigate the callers/callees.
