Switching between applications (FMX-DWMX) is second nature and one of the reasons was the ease of looking up function with the "Code Navigation" widget. This was a button in DWMX that was represented by "{}" and listed every function in the code by its name.

Close and restart DW, and you should now see the Code Nav...
