    Description

      Consider the following typical code snippet:

      connect(m_timer, &QTimer::timeout(),
              this, &Class::slotTimeout());

      When doing "Find Usages" on m_timer, I get the following search result:

      530     connect(m_timer, &QTimer::timeout(),

      If I want to see where the signal is connected to, I need double click the search result to open an editor at that position.

      It would be very convenient to optionally display a number of context lines before/after each search result (maybe like the DiffEditor allows for chunks).

      Maybe it would already be enough to have this extra information as tooltip.
