Signal tracing

[covex]

RFE: Any kind of signal tracing would be very helpful. It is fine it shows a signal definition in the hover but showing where else it is used in assignment or port map would be even better.

Not sure how you would want this to work, it looks like just a simple search result function, but maybe I did not get your point.

It depends how complicated we want this - the simplest way would be to show in the hover also a references to the files:lines were the same signal/port name is (like e.g. for entities) - this probably is only a "simple search". If this should be smarter, then it should only take into account the entity and architecture, where this signal is used. Super smart would be to follow the signal thru the hierarchy (port maps, assignments) something like when the vhdl show hierarchy is displayed.

OK, could be interresting indeed
