Yeah, and I would question: 1. why are you editing with a plaintext editor and searching stuff like that? Are you in a super-hurry? Seems like a 0.001% scenario 2. why do you need to search for functions in a class? Just what kind of monstrous abomination are you working on?I think this conversation is going nowhere. We can equally ask hypothetical questions the other way: - Why do you find the word "function" so hard to type? Are you in a super-hurry? - Why are your function declarations so long that you need to save 8 characters? What kind of abomination are you working on? etc etc There really isn't that much to say either way: some people like having the keyword introduce each declaration, some people don't. Can we just agree that it's a matter of style? If we were designing a new language, we could vote on what consistent style we wanted to create. With 20 years of existing language history, there's always going to be a bias towards keeping things as they are. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
