This will not work when we are into a function that is larger than the page or simply the function top is not visible. My idea is to show somewhere which function we are into everytime the current function name disappears from the screen. This can be done in two ways:
1. Less obtrusive: use the tooltip technique (not yet implemented, but it will use the top few lines to show hints) 2. Show on the status line -- instead of the file name, to show the current function name. Again this will only be shown when the function name is not visible on the screen.
Dangers:Once the function name is clear for the user it could be irritating to keep seeng it, hence (1) is less preferable. That is why I suggest for this to be shown only after navigations like page-dn/-up or jump to line or bookmarks selection or similar.
(2) may be hid after arrow left or right or similar. Comments? -petar
