I'll try to do something along these lines. It shouldn't be hard to make it a tooltip.

When lines overlap, there's no easy way to tell. This can be important in refactoring decisions, or in debugging (how many uses of this thing are there to check?). Yes, I've wondered this too. And in large files, it's often really hard to tell, like in your first screenshot. Maybe, if the mouse hovers over the center point of a binding identifier, there's a tooltip that shows useful info, such as how many references (maybe in what procedures?), and whether it's provided by the module. (I haven't thought about submodules, though.) Neil V. _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
