I would like to see a better Navigator. Suggestions,
- Allow user to configure what Tabs the Navigator displays. If this was a feature I would,
- Remove Files tab. I think the tabs (not in the Navigator but in the main work area) effectively make this redundant.
- Remove Templates tab
I would also like to be able to keep the views open, rather than have to push the tab to view the contents. Maybe the Navigator should have children and allow ~5 Navigators of different types.
The Functions view should refresh to the currently active file without accessing ctags - parse on the fly.
Ability to set the Font size in Navigator panes.

I was also just recently thinking of adding this change- Allow user to configure what Tabs the Navigator displays. If this was a feature I would,
- Remove Files tab. I think the tabs (not in the Navigator but in the main work area) effectively make this redundant.
I don't use this tab myself, but I would not remove it just in case someone else did.
But with the option to show and hide different tabls the user can effectivel remove it if they want.
- Remove Templates tab
I use this tab quite a bit especially when I am coding HTML.
For example assume I have a html file open.
I can highlight a few lines of text and clcik on the P template to make it into a paragraph.
I can highlight a few words and hit the A HREF template and Zeus adds in the HTML for a link.
This tab makes wrtting code in languages like HTML very easy.
I would also like to be able to keep the views open, rather than have to push the tab to view the contents.
You do know you can access the tabs via the keyboard:
- NavigatorViewDrives
- NavigatorViewWorkspace
- NavigatorViewFunctions
- NavigatorViewFiles
- etc
To do this propery the editor needs to know a lot about the programming language.The Functions view should refresh to the currently active file without accessing ctags - parse on the fly.
To make sure the process work efficiently I suspect the editor has to watch what the user types and then detect when a function is added or removed.
But to have the editor do this for all the 34 languages supported by ctags is a massive amount of effort
This should be doableAbility to set the Font size in Navigator panes.

I would ONLY update the Functions pane on saving and opening the active file. The file type would be known.To make sure the process work efficiently I suspect the editor has to watch what the user types and then detect when a function is added or removed.

This feature is now in the latest release: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4766Allow user to configure what Tabs the Navigator displays
See the Options, Editor Options menu, Miscellaneous panel.

Navigator Choices
Great. Now I would like to be able to send the output of "FunctionsList" to the Functions tab of the Navigator. My problem is that I use 2-3 client spaces at one time, and I don't switch Workspaces to get the right ctags database, so the Navigator doesn't display functions from another workspace file. If the Functions tab was only updated on reading the file, and saving it, that would be fine.
