Improving your Visual Studio experience : MetalScroll

I've heard of RockScroll from Scott Hanselman a while ago in his blog entry. The Visual Studio plug-in basically replaces the vertical scroll bar with a real time thumbnail of the code. Plus it highlights words if you double-click them. It's niiiiceee!! I've soon downloaded it and used since then (more than a year). However lacking the ease of using the window split, having parasyte double click highlightings and desynchronizing when you collapse a region of code annoyed me for a while... Until today!! Scott did it again and twitted about a good replacement for RockScroll : MetalScroll. It does all RockScroll does plus : * double-clicking the scrollbar brings up an options dialog where the color scheme and scrollbar width can be altered. * the widget at the top of the scrollbar which splits the editor into two panes is still usable when the add-in is active. * you must hold down ALT when double-clicking a word to highlight all its occurrences in the file. RockScroll highlights words on regular double-click, which can be annoying when you actually meant to use drag&drop text editing, for example when dragging a variable to the watches window. ...
