That is still not like how VA works.  VA actually knows which symbol
you are referring to, even if you have 20 identically named symbols in
a single file, you can do things like right-click and rename it and it
renames all of just that symbol without touching the others.  It can
guess what you are typing as you type based on what you have done in
the past and the surrounding code, even the tooltips are color-coded
correctly, it just does everything 'right'.
The second something like VA exists for linux, my main PC will be
converted in a nanosec.
