Re: Emacs shows xrefs in code but needs an interface that's good for humans

I described the extension to a co-worker over lunch and she said it was kind of like what Eclipse already does. Eclipse will use something that looks like a scrollbar but is clickable to indicate where the other references are. It's very cool. I don't know that Emacs even supports hacking up a new scroll-bar interface. Fooey.

Emacs pretty much supports hacking up just about anything. I wouldn't necessarily try it -- I think there's a 12 step program for people who get too deeply into emacs -- but speedbar is pretty handy, and I'd probably like emacs more if the Windows variant didn't randomly hang emc " The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident.
