Makes inherited Java behavior visible where you actually use it
Built a plugin to help see inherited methods and data members without constantly jumping to parent classes/interfaces.
Looking for feedback on whether this is actually useful in real-world codebases, especially large Java projects with deep inheritance trees.
Plugin:

Particularly interested in:
- whether the inline visibility helps navigation
- if the UI feels noisy vs useful
- cases where inheritance becomes hard to reason about
- whether composition-heavy teams would still find value in it
