Start with a plugin, so we can see whether users really prefer that.

The thing is this: outline is also used for showing the current scope you are 
in, I find that often quite invaluable in big functions, if you don't see the 
rest of the scope you don't know what you are looking at (i.e. where your 
cursor is).

Though if you can merge this, it should be fine imo. Actually thinking about 
it you are right, the disctinction is mainly for the possible mouse users, who 
want to click in either lineedit and start searching. Having to edit the scope 
checkboxes by hand would be cumbersome for them, probably. But for mouse-only 
users it would make no difference.

> -Only one shortcut to access it. And display shortcut on the text area.

I greatly disagree. Outline and QuickOpen are different things and you want to 
access them quickly. Hence having two shortcuts is important and *must* stay 
this way, same for the other scopes (functions, files, classes, all).

Can you explain all this? I don't get it...
