I admire "Goto Recent Mothod" function is very powerful and I'm very familiar with it and utilize it for many times every day instead of the IDE's counterpart.

But some disadvantage or weakness is here:

(1)I can't designate a Accelerator Key for it like other functions in vs.
Now I have to toggle the VA context-menu then choose it or press "M".
If it can be callout like the va-paste which will immediately display a list for choosing will be awesome.

(2)the info is insufficient sometimes or Key-point info is hard to recognize and pick up.
insufficient > Refer to the snap picture above,the first 3 lines of the menu.
only file-name + lineNum is insufficient for user to judge whether the place is right or not for going.Actually,Many times I will try it and see, OOp-?-?not here. And Alt+<- navgate back.

In my opinion:

a.this menu show be colorful,like the Find-refercences results.At least, color or Bold the class-name and method-name make user faster and easier to identify the key-info.

b.when the user hang to one item,can show a snap of the place with sereral lines of code as the context.like hanging on Find-refercences results.

I think that really make sense and really strengthen that function will comprehensively extend the usage of it.

Creation come from persist!

1. We are considering doing this at some point:

case=5912

2. Let's focus on the problems first: I am missing function names (global C-like functions), while I am seeing method names (member functions). Are you seeing the same problem there, or are you experiencing a different problem?

Yes! I do.The sample above is the instance of missing names of the member-function . traverseied.h is a template class with all static member fucntion.

I'm very confusing about the reason for missing the name of member-function.May your team can optimize the algorithm! best!

I was able to reproduce your problem using static methods:

case=77130

I like the idea of a colorful new list for recent methods so I have put in a feature request for this to see what the developers make of it:

case=77131
