There is an indentation problem.
It's a way to configure the plugin you can associate a key with each kind of
actions (a key can be assigned for multi item like current
document->methods, class and current project->methods,class)
I'm not sure is totally clear, I try to mock-up all of this tomorrow
So with the correct indentation:
A plugin to replace quickopen or for coexist and let the choice to use
The main goal is to allow user to use only keyboard
-Only one area for outline, and quick open.
-Only one shortcut to access it. And display shortcut on the text area.
-Quick access letter like QtCreator. Display help
  -KCM module:
    -parameter default comportment
      -Select scope of default search (without access letter) and scope
order
    -parameter quick access letter:
      ->Documentation (access)
      ->Line (access current document line X)
      ->Current document
         -> Symbol
      ->All opened document
         ->File (switch to file)
         ->Class (access class)
         ->Methods (access method)
      ->Current project
         ->File (open file)
         ->Class (access class)
         ->Methods (access method)
      ->All project
         ->File (open file)
         ->Class (access class)
         ->Methods (access method)
