Adding to ReSharper's 'Related Files' list - resharper

From version 5.0 onwards, ReSharper offers a "Go To Related Files" navigation which offers a list of files that R# thinks are related to the file currently being edited: for example, base types, derived types, .designer.cs to and from the relevant .cs, and so on.
I have looked in the R# Options and also online, but have not been able to find out:
Is there a way to add files to this list, either within R# natively or by an already-existing plug-in?
(My motivation is to be able to navigate at coding time between files containing classes that are connected by a run-time-only convention-over-configuration, er, convention)

I don't know about existing plugins, but this feature is extendable.
You need to implement IRelatedFilesProvider interface in your plugin and mark it by RelatedFilesProvider attribute. As far as I know, NHibernate plugin do it for analogous task.

Sublime, altering behavior of highlighting definions upon mouse-hover

I have a project with several classes which partly share functions while at other times the functions are different in code, but use the same name.
When hovering over a function name, Sublime highlights every file and line where that definition is found.
In my opinion it would be better if it actually included which class the different highlights belong to.
Is it possible to edit this in some way ?
Assume systems.js contains 4 different classes (1 base, 3 children). I would like to append or prepend the shown strings by the class definition (fetchable via prototype).
The hover popup mentioned in your question is powered by Sublime's internal symbol index, which is created in combination with the syntax definition that's used to syntax highlight files that you're editing. The Sublime syntax system is fairly context free; it parses the structure of the code but it doesn't contain any real structural information about it.
So for example it can determine that getShots is a function or method because of the syntax that was used to define it, but it doesn't know what class it came from.
The code for the hover popup is available in Default/symbol.py (you can use PackageResourceViewer to examine it) and associates symbols under the cursor with other places that it's seen symbols with that name in other files in the project; it literally only knows the information that you see in the popup; places where things by that name are defined and places where things of that name are referenced.
So in one sense, the answer to your question is No; core sublime can't do that because it doesn't have enough code intelligence to be able to figure that sort of thing out; this is exacerbated by dynamic languages like JavaScript where things can theoretically change at runtime as well.
The primary reason for that is because Sublime is extensible enough to support literally every programming language instead of just focusing on one or two (as e.g. PhpStorm does), so it doesn't have the core code to determine the information required.
All that said, since Sublime is indeed extremely extensible, it's possible that external code that does specialize on a language could be leveraged by a package in order to provide the appropriate information.
Two examples of that are SublimeCodeIntel and LSP for example. I don't use either of them myself, so I don't know for sure how good a fit they might be in your workflow.
I highly recommend you shift to Visual Studio Code majorly because sublime is an editor whereas vs code is an IDE. Also, it has very great extension support for all languages. I would recommend you to use jshint which the most popular plugin for js code available for almost all popular editors and IDEs. But still if you want to go with Sublime I suggest you following plugins:

Do a Find in Current Namespace in Visual Studio?

Want to be able to do a Find but contain my results to the current namespace the current opened file is in. Like "Current Project" but "Current Namespace". Is there a plugin or tool that can do this?
You can always use a regex :
namespace my_namespace(.*\n)*.*my_search
That's kind of an ugly solution, since it will select everything between namespace keyword and you search. But that's still useful.
You can adapt it and change capture groups in order to be able to use it for replacements.
Rather than parsing and inspecting every code file individually, Agent Mulder plugin utilizes ReSharper's Structural Search (sometimes known as Structural Search and Replace, or SSR) to look for patterns of code in the entire solution. This is both effective (since the solution structure already exists in ReSharper's caches), and makes it very easy to extend Agent Mulder to support additional containers.
Here is an overview of ReSharper's Structural Search API (based on ReSharper SDK v6.1)

Can ReSharper ignore projects/tests in navigation

When using the various navigation and usage features of ReSharper, is there a way to make it hide some of the projects (with tests) in the solution?
Often when I'm browsing through the code, I'm not really interested in the tests, but only the production code.
I received this answer from the Resharper support team.
I have looked at "find usages" deeper and figured out that there is the
following item in filter dropdown -- "Show Unit Test Usages" (attached). So
if you uncheck this item -- usages from Test Projects won't appear in search
result.
Well im not sure this works for the navigation and usage features but for analysis it does, tryto use the skip files and folders menu to add folders which should be excluded.
Under Optionmenu use Settings under the Code Inspection section and select "Edit Items to Skip" and select your folder.
Take a look at this Article too
First, there's no setting in ReSharper to "forget" a certain project in solution.
However, in some cases, navigation combos may help you out.
For example, when you search for types, files or symbols with ReSharper, you can restrict search scope with navigation combos. Say, in NHibernate, entering "dm spec " in Go to Type restricts search scope to Projects\Core\NHibernate.DomainModel\NHSpecific

VIM: More precise C/C++ code parsing solutions?

Pre:
I've been working in VIM for like a year already. Lots of great things: combinations, scripts. Whenever I'm editing something in a different editor, I feel sluggish/uncomfortable without VIM's navigation.
The problem:
The thing that really bothers me most of all is source code navigation using existing tools (ctags, cscope). Often, ctags can't find the declaration of a variable, cscope as opposed to ctags finds all definitions with the same variable name. Same craziness with call tree navigation, finding forward declarations along with a single class definition etc.
Compared to MS Intellisense, Visual Assist or even source code navigation in Eclipse, Exuberant Tags/cscope seems to be deprecated for at least 10 years.
I know there are tools like ViEMU, but they don't really solve the problem, since you lose lots of VIM's functionality.
The question:
I was wondering if there is a tool that does the source parsing better, or there is some way to integrate source parsing engines like Intellisense into VIM ?
Maybe there are commercial solutions or there are people who are ready to implement one ?
All the benefits of VIM seem to save less time than is being wasted while navigating to class definition, compared to Visual Assist, where it's done by a single Alt-G shortcut.
Search and Call tree
You could try eclim, which is a way to use some Eclipse features in Vim.
For C/C++, it provides :
Context sensitive completion (although it is disabled on Windows because it is buggy)
Context sensitive search in Project files (through :CSearchContext)
Call tree for functions/methods (:CCallHierarchy)
Code Validation (:Validate)
It is not great, but it can help in some cases.
Code Completion
Regarding automatic code completion, I primarily use OmniCppComplete, which is using tags to provide Context aware code completion. It is not that bad.
As advised by Luc Hermitte, you can also use clang_complete which does not need ctags, but needs clang installed.
Unfortunatelly, it is a real problem. ctags or cscope can hardly compete with Visual Studio code browsing - it actually uses a C++ compiler front-end to parse the code for the editor.

How to add custom code analysis in ReSharper

I'm new to ReSharper.
For those who uses Resharper, is there a way I can add custom code analysis rules?
For example I might have a rule say All private variables should start with letter "m". How can I add this to Resharper so if I violate this, it can shows as a warning or an error?
I know the question is old, but for all folks coming from google like me:
Resharper -> Options -> Code inspections -> Custom Patterns
There you can create your own rules for highlighting patterns or offering substitutions. This is for ReSharper 8. I'm not sure from which version this option is there.
Just to expand on what #AakashM notes above: this can be specified in ReSharper Options | Languages | (either Common or C# or whatever) | Naming Style.
If you click on Advanced Settings, and then double-click on one of the "entity descriptions", there is a far larger selection of possible entities (including events, namespaces etc) , together with access rights (private, protected, etc) and so on, for which you can define prefix, suffix and casing rules.
You can write your own plugins for ReSharper. Take a look at here:
http://stylecopforresharper.codeplex.com/
This is similar to what you're asking for. It might even do what you want. Not sure since I'm not a big StyleCop user.
Also take a look at the first in my series of blog posts coming on ReSharper plugins:
