It displays a buffer containing a call tree for functions in source code files. You can easily & quickly navigate the call tree, displaying the code in another window, and apply query-replace or other commands to individual functions. When the command `simple-call-tree-display-buffer' or `simple-call-tree-current-function' is executed a call tree for the functions in the current buffer will be created, and in the latter case the point in the call tree is placed on the header closest to its position in the original buffer. If called with a prefix arg the user is also prompted for other files to include in the call tree. The call tree is displayed in a buffer called *Simple Call Tree*, which has a dedicated menu in the menu-bar showing various commands and their keybindings. Most of these commands are self explanatory so try them out. Navigation: You can navigate the call tree either by moving through consecutive headers (n/p or N/P keys) or by jumping to main branches (j for branch corresponding to function at point, and J to prompt for a function). When you jump to a branch, it is added to `simple-call-tree-jump-ring', and you can navigate your jump history using the keys. You can also add the function under point to the jump-ring with the . key. If you use a negative prefix (e.g. C--) before pressing j then the branch jumped to will not be added to the jump-ring. If you have fm.el (available here: http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/sje30/emacs/fm.el) you can press f to toggle follow mode on/off. Display Normally child branches correspond to functions/variables called by the parent branch. However, if you invert the tree by pressing i then the child branches will correspond to functions that call the parent branch. You can sort the tree in various different ways, and change the depth of the tree. You can also narrow the tree to the function at point by pressing / Exporting: The tree can be exported in its current state with the `simple-call-tree-export-org-tree' command, and you can alter the types of links with the `simple-call-tree-org-link-style' option. This may be useful for project management. Refactoring You can perform `query-replace' or `query-replace-regexp' on the function at point by pressing % or C-%, or any other arbitrary command by pressing ! This may be useful when refactoring.
