?Possible? highlight current function name in function list based on code location in editor window.

Joe Bonifazi

Coming to Notepad++ ( v 7.3.2 32 bit ) from UltraEdit.
I would like the current function name highlighted within the function list based on where my cursor is in the edit window.

For example, I search for a variable name and find it buried in a long function. I would like the function list window to highlight which function I am currently in based on the cursor location.

Is that possible?

The TagsView plugin (https://sourceforge.net/projects/tagsview/files/) does this and much more.

Thanks. Tried TagView on a C++ file and it works great.
Can it work for a user defined language?
