Method Usages -- clunky, especially compared to other IDEs?

[RandallBSmith]

I failed to find this discussed in the forums, forgive me if I am missing an accelerated feature.

As an avid user of inheritance in Java, I am constantly needing to navigate up and down the hierarchy to visit  all the various overriding implementations of a method. In other IDEs I have used or seen used, this can be done quite directly (e.g.:  with a pop-up menu listing the classes that implement the selected method), but in NB it requires popping up a dialogue, possibly making a dialog mode adjustment, waiting, visiting the output window, and possibly scrolling within that to find the desired usage to click on.

Does NB have a better way I am missing? If not, have others found this unnecessarily time consuming, and if so, how should I constructively place a feature request?

Thanks,
       --Randy
