Description
The minimap is essential in helping in navigation, especially to know the location at the code. Why not use colours to segment functions (only functions) like so: It makes the code much easier to read and digest.
Compare the left column to the right column:
My argument is: Just by glancing at the left, I know my location exactly within the code, and this gives me the following knowledge/abilities. For example:
- I can see the file has 5 functions, and that I am at the beginning of the 4th function.
- I can easily jump to the beginning of the current function, say to modify a parameter.
- A glance at the map, I can see the size of each function (from the segmentations), and I can tell exactly where I am and which part of code I am looking at.
- I can tell the file has two almost similar size functions (could be overrides), it has 3 other main bigger functions. So I can see the sizes of the functions and their count. Glancing at the map and the file name (the tab) helps me remember what this file does...etc. etc.
