We've come a long way with many wonderful enhancements to the symbol system, but here are two things I would llike to see as improvements to the present v11 symbol browser.
First, when I ctrl+right click on a symbol and the menu pops up with Identify at the top, I want that Identify to give me the symbol name. At present, it doesn't. Yes, I can Identify the symbol with a separate Identify action but that is an interruption to the ctrl+right click menu that is already open.
Secondly, if I select Symbol Tools/Open in Symbol Browser it does little good to open a symbol folder with many similar symbols when I have difficulty knowing which symbol I have just chosen. A highlight would be extremely helpful to direct me to the symbol I am trying to work with.
Of course, the new enhancements in v12 that allow us to pick a symbol and edit it directly will be fantastic, but editing is not the only goal in identifying a symbol.
