Exploring CodeMaid Spade
CodeMaid Spade can be accessed either by using the Extensions | CodeMaid | Spade menu or via the Ctrl + M + . (period) shortcut. CodeMaid Spade has similar functionality to Visual Studio's Class View but presents it in a more visually appealing format. Spade also has a few extra bells and whistles included in its digging feature (Spade; digging – get it?), such as the following:
- Provide an overview of the code with easy mouse click navigation to each item
- Double-click on a method, property, or field to highlight that piece of code
- Right-click to delete entire methods, properties, or entire regions (everything within the region) or to find references for the given item
- Left-click on the plus/minus icon or middle-click on regions to open or collapse the region
- Sort either alphabetically or by file order
- Search functionality
- Simple drag and drop to reorder code items
- Perform multi-select using Shift + click or Ctrl...
