Quickly jump to different functions of a class

Classes were introduced with 4D v18 R3. They allow you to organize your business logic and separate it from the UI part more quickly.

Classes are composed of several functions of varying lengths, so it’s not always easy to find the function you want to modify, or to move from one function to another. You can use the explorer, which displays classes and functions, but when you’re coding in the editor window, you don’t want to waste time changing windows.

With 4D v19 R4, the list of functions in your class is displayed in the code editor toolbar, allowing you to easily jump to a specific function. 

The functions are displayed in their appearing order inside the class. If you prefer, you can display the tags of a class in alphabetical order by holding Option on macOS or Alt on Windows before deploying the menu.

Here’s the result in action!
