Adds features to the IDE

Searching file from "Source Editor", in open "Inspectors" windows ("Project Inspector", "Package Editor").

How it works

Setting focus to a node "Dependency Tree" of window "Inspector", according to the current active file in the "Source Editor".

For a visual understanding, see GIF demonstration [https://github.com/in0k-LazarusIDE-plugins/in0k_LazIdeEXT_wndInspector_FF8S/wiki/Animation-'IDE-command' IDE Command] and [https://github.com/in0k-LazarusIDE-plugins/in0k_LazIdeEXT_wndInspector_FF8S/wiki/Animation-'Auto-MODE' Auto MODE].

Features

IDE Command

• shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F (to change see Shortcuts)

• menu item: Source editor->Рopup menu->Find File in "Inspector"
• additionally:
  • if file found in "Inspector", then brings window to "foreground"

Auto mode

• the search starts when you change "Active source editor"
