Case structure: go where input is used

Status: New

When using a case structure with many cases I often need to check where a given input is wired (and used).

Maybe It could be useful to have a right-click feature that can allow to jump to the cases where an input is used, as shown in the picture:

1. This would ESPECIALLY be handy when it's a reference input into the case structure. Tracking down where methods/properties affect references can be a booger, and this would help.

2. This should also apply to Event Structures! (and arguably, Stacked Sequence Structure Smiley Indifferent )

Sounds like a job for the JKI right-click framework, at least in the meantime. The main problem with that is that handling multiple matches might be trickier. This could probably be handled by invoking the plugin repeatedly and having it go to the next match from the current case each time. Maybe I'll do this and post it tomorrow.

 

Also, you gave me another idea - making the current tunnel the selector. Not a huge use case, but one which annoys me every now and then.

OK, so not tomorrow, but here it is.

 

It leaves a ghost selection when moving between frames, so that's a bit annoying.
