I love it lol. Adding more features like upgraded navigation window for actions, views, slices, etc. would make this more like a whole tool cabinet than a toolbox :) Maybe someone else is like me and, due to poor project planning, often gets derailed updating names of every table, column, setting, and process to a new standard convention and some important thing gets lost in the dinky defauly interface? We need to see all the data in one place to compare styles and refactor much quicker :D I would be much more comfortable having a configurable auto-naming schema for newly created objects all nested neatly in emulated named directories and folders. On top of that, ability to init all system-created views with Show_If = false if a custom viewtype for the data already exists would erase rare yet frustrating conflicts. The work-around is annoying to implement for each individual case when, for example, there are multiple ref views for the same slice. Setting up custom navigation event actions with direct links to all my form and detail views is a nice time waste so let's auto-populate explicitly nav actions for all ref views to set the events on new views much faster.

When I used to write an expression or go through the existing expression, extension used to show me the syntax in the editor when I move my cursor across the expression. now I am unable to see the syntax which was very helpful when writing the new code. is this feature removed or should I enable anything within the settings.
