future plans

When can we expect an update to SN?

The most important feature (imo) would be auto-completion.
Auto-completion of symbols, listing the members when accessing a struct 
with -> or .
Displaying the definition of the functions in a tooltip box when the 
mouse comes over them
Displaying possible commentaries that are typed before struct 
definitions or function definitons
Maybe even a window that would sit somewhere on your workspade and 
update to the class definition or inheritance of the class you are 
working in (well yeah, stuff you can get already, but it's not 
implemented in a very efficient way)

I'm also lacking some docs or tips, maybe some of the stuff I want is 
there already.
The behaviour of the windows is weird. If the file as been edited it 
would open a new window, but if not it would change the edit view. I 
didn't find the shortcuts to switch between editor views (like Alt+TAB 
on MSVC).
I'm free to develop on win32 or linux. I prefer linux because on win98 
my app kills the GDI resources and I have to reboot quite often. But I'm 
strongly tempted to go back to win32 cause I don't feel as efficient 
with sourcenav as I can be with MSDev

Hope this helps..
