I'd like the following: - Jumping to the definition of the symbol I'm standing on when I press a key. I know tags is useful for that, but they don''t seem to work properly in every case, only in most of the cases and I'd like a proper solution. - Show the documentation of the current symbol in a tooltip when pressing a key. The tooltip is not a big deal. I can do it if I can get the documentation somehow. - Inteligent completion of the current symbol when I press a key. I don't want ECB, because I don't want separate windows within the frame showing information. I like to work in a single frame and get information only if I press a key explicitly. I suspect semantic can do some or all of the above. Is it true? Is there a solution out of the box which works like described above or I have to learn how the semantic api works and implement my own solution? How good is semantic's C++ parsing/support? Are there other alternatives? xref seems nice, but I'd like to evaluate free software first. I'm also checking out kdevelop which I hear has good support for C++, but I really don't want to leave emacs (iswitchb!) if I can find a satisfactory solution. Thanks.
