Hi,

It's just amazing how many cool features we have in the compilers and
especially the IDE's.  The biggest _cool_ feature is the jumping
between Interface and Implementation sections for a method
(Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down).

Most programing editors support syntax highlighting for Object Pascal,
but never support the 'jumping' feature.   I find that feature
invaluable and saves me a lot of time!

I would like to put together a simple editor which supports just that
feature.  I find a lot of times I need to edit some files on a remote
workstation which normally only has the FPC compiler installed.  gEdit
is great, but doesn't support the jumping. I would like to put
together a small editor for those times I need to edit something
remotely.  Umm... does the text based IDE included with FPC have that
feature, I've never checked??

Anybody done this before?  How complicated would the code parsing be
to enable something like that. Note: I've never written a pascal code
parser before.  All I'm interested in is the jumping feature, no
syntax highlighting etc...
But then again, if the FPC's text IDE supports that, my problem is
solved. If it doesn't, maybe I can implement it in their instead.


Regards,
