Carbide.c++ Quick Outline
Carbide.c++ is a rich and sometimes complex IDE. It is also full of small useful features that can speed-up your works once known. Today, I have just discovered about the Quick Outline feature. Not a revolution as the Outline view is generally present in the Carbide C/C++ perspective, however this view has a problem with it: you generally just see the name of the class - which is the same for all your functions - but not the function name itself. Something like the snapshot on the right:
The Quick Outline feature is available through CTRL-O shortcut and displays a small popup with the list of your function fully visible.This is great to quickly navigate into your source file. You can even filter the display by entering a part of the function name in the popup (don't forget to add a * joker character at first or you will have to enter the class name as well to match any of your functions....)







Re: Carbide.c++ Quick Outline
Wow, it definately is an useful thing. Just yesterday while struggling through the code and trying to accomodate the outline at the same time, I was having this wishlist that wish I coud see the code in full screen and also have the outline when I need it quickly..this certainly serves my purpose. That made me in-turn think, if there is anyway to see all the available keyboard short-cuts. This is what I found : Try CTRL+SHIFT+L
Thanks Eric

There's also "Quick Access" --> ctrl + 3. (New in Carbide 1.3, I don't think it's in 1.2.x)
This is like an index of all the available commands you can run (e.g. running menus, views, etc..)
e.g. select a word, hit ctrl + 3, type "to upper" and you can get the command to convert to upper case.
That and "ctrl+shift+r" are my favorites : )
