Rockscroll replaces Visual Studio&#8217;s code-view scrollbar with a miniature visual representation of your source code. This feature makes navigation in large source files that much easier.</p> <p>Before Rockscroll, I’d oftentimes make mental notes of the scrollbar’s position while traversing code. That, and when spending a lot of time on a project I’d become so familiar with the source code that I’d begin to recognize most code blocks by shape. Rockscroll provides both of these <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic" target="_blank">mnemonic devices</a>, but with less brain work. That is a good thing. Thank you, Rocky Downs. Can I have this in NetBeans? :)</p> Tue, 13 May 2008 06:32:00 -0700 urn:uuid:39041988-d9be-43b4-a6e3-b5ea8de816c0 Ryan Baxter http://crunchlife.com/articles/2008/05/13/rockscroll-visual-studio-add-in Visual Studio dotNET
