Annoying lack of functionality (RMB browse)

[wikol]

Hi
This is more like a wish list then reporting problems.
Since I am using this tool I always had a problem with one annoying feature not fully developed in my opinion.
I decided after all to share this now. When you open a Program Window and you see you unit of code, for example a call to a function from another package, like order_api.create_customer().
When you select order_api and do RMB you can choose the option Browse which in turn locates your package on the list in a browser window.
Annoying part of it is that it goes to Packages tree not Package Bodies tree. In my opinion RMB Browse should distinguish that and give you the option where to go.

Another thing is that you could implement in your editors BLOCK cut/copy/paste to be more efficient for users.
And yet I hope to get back with 7.1 a lost functionality (showing function names in Program Window when file with a source code opened - with database objects it works fine)

Press Ctrl and move mouse pointer over the the object, it will turn into a hyperlink. Left Mousebutton will open spec, right mouse button will open body (at the location of the function/procedure at that too).

not really
I know this feature and it is very good indeed.
But I am talking about RMB Browse which does not open any source but locates the source among others on the Browser list (like in the folder tree).
Then you can go for references and see what this one is referencing. Other features like granted roles, referenced by and many others are there but only for Package header (not Package body). I think in the past the structure was the same)for headers and bodies. Today in Package Body browse list you have References (only) which is usefull to follow or to see quickly what other packages are being used by this one.

or another remedy would be to move (make it redundant) References section from Package Body to Packages under 'Body References'. So then RMB Browse leading you to the package header would have the same impact as you would be able to reach the same information.

klopt?
