The JADE 2022 release meets tomorrow’s business demands.
Frequently when I'm using the Find Class dialog (F4) the very next thing I do is navigate to a particular method on that class. It would be nice if the Find Class dialog could be extended to allow you to choose a method to navigate to after selecting the desired class.

This could potentially be extended also with a 'Default' method within that class. I know a lot of classes where I am working within 1 method for that particular class could we potentially set a "Default Method" that when browsing to a Class it will take us straight to that method?
Sounds like another idea for an improvement to the navigation bar. I personally turn that off and choose not to use it, mostly because it takes up valuable real estate with minimal benefit for my particular working style. I tend to use F4 and the Ctrl+6 and Ctrl+7 shortcuts instead for my quick navigation combined with always have 2 pinned class browsers opened against the model and view schemas where 99% of my coding time is spent.
Sounds a lot like the use case for the navigation bar? However, that doesn't support the use of camel case like the Find Class dialog.
What would be nice is if the navigation bar was improved to behave like the windows file explorer address bar, which would allow us to type or copy'n'paste a whole path (qualified name) to quickly get to the class/method we need to see, while also still supporting the ability to change what's being viewed by selecting an element in the path and getting a drop down (like you can change folders in file explorer). Like the Find Class dialog, the drop down combo boxes would ideally support the use of camel case, but when copying/typing in a path, navigation would need to adhere to what's entered to avoid duplicate matches.
