Just providing some ideas (i really think a class browser is a good additio=
n):

What i've seen in several IDEs (Eclipse for example) is that you can
press Ctrl and then the mouse cursor turns into a pointer (like a
hyperlink) when over a class name (the class name actually displays as
a hyperlink in the editor). Then you can just click on the hyperlink
and it jumps to the class definition etc. This not only works for
classes, but also variables (click on a variable, and it jumps to
where the variable is declared). Dunno how easy it is to implement
something like this in the current codebase.
