Please include a 'Goto group' menu option that performs similarly to the other 'Goto' options, but lists the group names.
I waste sooooo much time scrolling through my code looking for the 'line of code' in the haystack.
Any other programming language you can atleast perform a Control-F find on your code to jump quickly from place to place. MMF2 we're supposed to remember code line numbers?!?
>> supposed to remember code line numbers?!?
Not so bad if toggling between two but... beyond that, the brain is challenged.
I am sure there are MMF internal issues but I agree that better searching would be a boon - especially coming back to a project after time away.
I'm actually very glad MMF remembers which groups that were closed and open, makes things a lot faster than before. I use a very logical system of a whole set of sub-groups, meaning if I right click and close all groups, the group I'm looking for is never many clicks away, with minimal amount of scrolling. If you have to scroll a lot, try to sort the groups into more category groups.
Having said that, I think it's still a very good suggestion to be able to search for groups, or even specific actions, conditions, alterable valuesm etc.
It's worth a mention for MMF3 as many idea's have been put forward. The event editor could feature a 'tree' for when groups are created/used and is searchable, when clicked on a branch it takes you to that section of code!
I have suggested this for MMF3 but I can't wait that long :-P.
I think if one of the MMF2 programmers took 20 minutes out of their day to do this, it could be solved.
The list already exists with 'active/deactive group', it's just a matter of copying this list and reconciling it with the line number of the group, then performing the same action as 'Goto line' with the group line number substituted in.
