Issues will be highlighted in the editor view, too. +

+ +

+ +* Find references: Find all references for some variable/function in your complete program. They are listed like the diagnostics grouped per file in an extra tab. +

+ +

+ +* Improved document highlight: Highlight all occurrences of a variable/... inside the current document. Beside highlighting the reads/writes/uses, you get a jump list like for the other stuff as tab, too. +

+ +

+ +A feature I missed to show last time: + +* Hover support: Show more meta info about a code location, like the proper type, useful e.g. for [almost-always-auto](https://herbsutter.com/2013/08/12/gotw-94-solution-aaa-style-almost-always-auto/) C++ programming. +
