Macro used list

Now that you've created Action Blocks, great by the way, and implemented a list of maros and action blocks under each action block showing where that action block is used, is it possible to implement that use list for macros?

It's really helpful.

Are you guys talking about straight references?
The reverse references from global variables and stopwatches were already implemented(y) Jamie added the improvement, blue grayish color for AB and sorted by categories:)
These are helpful because they don't have any other quick navigation paths to the referrers.

On the other hand, in my opinion, I don't think it would need to refer the straight way because a macro tends to contain multi ABs and it could check easily just entering each macro editor screen.
More information in the macro list makes less rows of macros. That's a tradeoff. Even if it has the enable/disable option like Show macro details in the top right ... menu, do you use it so often? Probably I leave it invisible, just unticked. If implemented as a toggle button next to collapse/expand, it might be better to do, but I would use it very few:unsure:

I want it to look like this. Macros and Action Blocks that reference Me. On Macros now, as it is on Action Blocks.

That is all. Nothing more.

The best way to keep something from being straight forward is to obfuscate .
