Here's the next round of improvements we'll do, not necessarily in order. These either make [[DXR]] a lot better for some or a little better for all and are biased toward our goal of being able to retire MXR. These items turn into filed bugs (not necessarily with a 1-to-1 correspondence), and then we do the bugs. When this list gets short, we pull more up from below. | Here's the next round of improvements we'll do, not necessarily in order.

* (4) Currently, you always get the context menu. But I (erikrose) suspect there is a by-far-most-common case: jumping to a symbol's definition. If we were to map that to a normal click and save the context menu for context-clicks (right-clicks, etc.), it would let people bounce around the codebase faster. It would be great to back up my supposition with some measurements. Risk: This makes the existence of the context menu (and thus a lot of DXR's capabilities) non-obvious. | * (4) Currently, you always get the context menu.
