Adequat	Posted - Aug 14 2020 : 03:00:48 AM I use VA Hashtag a lot but miss the following feature: when a given Hashtag is used in several places, generally one is a "reference point" among all others, hence I wish it could be highlighted as such in both the Hashtag list and in the goto menu. An example: let's say there is a long code comment to explain some system. I wish various parts of the code to be able to jump easily to that reference comment.

feline	Posted - Aug 15 2020 : 10:38:13 AM The syntax looks a little odd the first time you see it, but without doing something similar, I am not actually sure how we would mark a single instance of the hashtag as the "main" instance.
Adequat	Posted - Aug 14 2020 : 2:05:26 PM Thanks, I was not aware of this (https://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W574#cross) Not 100% what I imagined but probably good enough.
feline	Posted - Aug 14 2020 : 10:34:42 AM Are you aware of cross references for Hashtags? In this situation I would mark the main reference with a cross reference saying "main", so for example: // main:#ExampleCrossReference void functionHoldingManySections() { // Alt-Shift-G on the hashtag here lists "references" and "cross-references" as sub-menus of hashtags // #ExampleCrossReference // #ExampleCrossReference // #ExampleCrossReference } this makes sure that it gets listed separately, so you can easily identify it, and jump to it from any of the other instances of the hashtag.
