yes - i.e. the physical text for that function or class (including methods)
copied or cut/pasted...

which raises something else... is there a reason there's no icon for the
class definition in the tree on the left (whaddya call that window?) ...
what I mean is, you can double-click on a function or method and it'll pop
you over to that code, which is really nice, but there's no quick way to get
to the class declaration code...

I'd also like to be able to jump to the class declaration.  I think that
window is called the Project Manager.  Note that if you click on the Code
Explorer tab at the bottom and then click on the className, you will jump to
the class definition.  It would seem that that could be added to the Project
Manager tree as well.

Discovered that today, after posting... actually discovered how the windows
can get disconnected from their positions... haven't figured out how to dock
it back to where it was though...

Having discovered that, I'll vote with Joe for having the class definition
added to the Project Manager tree  - i suppose there is some danger of
everything in Code Explorer ending up in Project Manager (figured out their
names today too) but... why are some things there and some things not, in
the first place?  what's more 'project' than 'code' about a method or a
function as opposed to a class definition?

Eric, Joe,

some good points you are raising here. It seems the way that
piece of info is organized (or isn't) needs to get some more
attention. I can't explain why classes don't appear in Project
Manager. This makes sense. However, Project Manager
displays project-related info while Code Explorer sits
directly on your code, regardless of whether it's
actually part of your project or not. Thus, even though
much info may seem to be displayed twice at times, it's
not in vain. Furthermore, Code Explorer supports options
Project Manager will never have.

I've made a note of this issue. Thanks for telling us.
