This looks great. Couple questions

1. How is your find all references different than the show dependencies function?

2. Your quick info function looks similar to just hitting Shift-F1 when highlighting an object. Yours maybe doesn't even do as much. Are you aware of the Shift F1 command?



Results wise, "Find all references" should show you a flattened list of the hierarchy that you see with show dependencies. Also, the idea was to make it keyboard friendly.

Quick Info might potentially involve to show more information (definition, references etc). If not, and if nobody sees value in it, I might take it out.


Sorry I meant Alt-F1 by the way.

After installing your product it has been sitting for several minutes grabbing all the schema or something... so I can't get even get quick info to work at this point when Alt-F1 works every time.

But very few people even know about hitting Alt-F1. Might make sense for your quick info just to call that same function so people even know how to do it.


Good point. I'll try to make the initial loading faster, and rethink the quick info feature.


So with Alt-F1 I can copy and paste the columns and stuff out of it. With your quick info I can't. Yours doesn't tell me the varchar lengths, nullable, etc etc like alt-f1 does. If I am using a certain database already your quick info shouldn't make my pick a database first either.
