I use Emacs as an editor, which provides 'ctags' and 'ebrowse' for
such purpose. I don't really use it a lot (takes time to get used to
the keys), anyway ctags is comfortable.

Most programmers i know use Vim and that has also a similar extension,
i think is called 'cmode'.

the above is not really fit for mouse navigation, i believe there
might be other tools for that, maybe even web-based?

your effort of having synaptics (and apt-get) into the dyne:OS will be
high priority on the list of features for dyne:3.

can i include you in the dyne:3 developers mailinglist? we'll soon
start a discussion there (still forming). the list is small and
involves only developers on invitation or at least with a brief
introduction. you should definitely be there.


ciao
