When writing code, I tend to get lost in details, and would like some editor that I can use to be able to move from the little picture (actual code) to the big picture (big blocks of logic).

No other control does this other than the scrollbars of panels, etc. Clicking and holding a button, a label, a link, a tab, whatever other control does not have this effect. But as soon as a user clicks the scrollbar, or clicks and drags the scrollbar, all other processing on the UI thread is halted. This is something that is a big pr...
