Title: MSVS RockScroll like plugin?
Post by: Wavesonics on January 10, 2009, 10:22:58 pm

I just saw this awesome plugin for MS Visual Studio called RockScroll:
http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/4719B472-3F4B-432C-9697-7F835E74A8E9/ (http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/4719B472-3F4B-432C-9697-7F835E74A8E9/)

I was wondering how hard the devs think it would be to make a plugin like this for C::B?
Could we get CodeBlocks to render the code window to a different context or something?

Is it necessary to have a thumbnail view of the your code?
Codeblocks renders the code through "scintilla" ,see here:

Resurrecting, because I basically came looking for the same thing. A plug in where you could see your code real small (1pt) on the side of your code would be AWESOME. I'd hate to have to switch to Visual Studio to have it.

Glad someone else thinks this would be a good idea :)

Wish I had more time, I would look into writing this...

While I don't see the use of such a thing, in the mean time you could hold down the Ctrl key and give your mouse wheel an upwards tolchock. That will make the editor's font size tiny (for whatever it's good).

Seriously though, we're talking of source code here, not of images, right? So what's the actual benefit of seeing things in thumbnail size? Aren't bookmarks or find/jump to implementation a whole lot more useful than trying to guess from a thumbnail where you want to go?

book marks, find/jump to implementation, all that are incredibly helpful.

And this is just another tool in that vein :)
