I mostly use SlickEdit and eclipse while working on embedded systems. Once in a while I need to use Visual Studio, and I terribly miss this feature that is known by different names in different editors. Basically you get a small window of 'outline style' code summary on the side (showing just the function names and optionally the static and globals at the top). You click an item on this little window and your cursor in the main editor window magically jumps to that item location. Here is how it looks like in SlickEdit:

Anyone knows what I am talking about ?

Any 'pointers' will be much appreciated :) Thanks.

Take a look at the DPack addin

Thanks Konstantinos. This one does the job as desired, but it comes with one very annoying 'feature': When in use, it wants to stay on top of all other windows (and grabs focus and control) and cannot be docked. Would have been much useful if could sit quietly on the side doing the same thing. Or maybe I am missing something.
