Added a very simple option for this: 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/4391

Works well with SublimeText 
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80UUPMUAP-g), makes it much 
easier to navigate through large traces. Dennis commented on this 
in his video (having to switch to a better viewer than just 
simple text); hope this helps a little.
