Hi all

Does anybody know if Lazarus IDE has something similar to View units (Ctrl+F12) tool, but searching in all search paths defined in project settings? It would allow to open modules much quicker than using standard Open file dialog.

There's the Code Browser. It's not as convenient as the Open Type/Resource dialogs in Eclipse yet - but I bet patches in that regard are also welcome :-)

Best regards,

Is there any thought to someone extending Exuberant CTags to handle innovations in Pascal since Knuth? This CTags program has a Pascal mode that handles old-style Turbo Pascal source with procedural code reasonably well, but falls flat with object oriented code once dot notation is used. The advantage of Exuberant CTags is that then arbitrary programmer text editors like Vim can browse source code in the language almost as seamlessly as a dedicated IDE environment like Lazarus.

In case you are interested.
I did something similar back in 2009 as a small OSS project called JediTag. http://jeditag.sourceforge.net/

Nice work, I didn't know this existed!
