In vim, you just sit the cursor on the opening '{' and press '%', and
behold!  the next method in the list! :)  Or install the D syntax
highlighting files and have vim automatically fold function bodies for
you.

OK, excuse the vim fanboyism, but I think any serious D IDE ought to
have this kind of functionality to ease navigation through source code.
Scrollbars are so last century. (Not to mention totally worthless when
dealing with 10,000-line files when the bar is 1 pixel high and
scrolling by 1 pixel maps to 5 pages -- totally worthless for
navigation.)
