If you are interested in editing post processors by yourself, it always makes sense to use a nice editor.
Therefor you can use Notepad++:
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download
A nice feature of the latest version (since version 6.5.4) is the included function list. It allows you to navigate very quickly through the different functions into the post like onSection(), onRapid() and so on.
To enable the function list feature, go to "View --> Function List" and enable the feature:
Another nice thing is to add the .cps extension to the javascript language in Notepad++.
The benefit of that is that the language is set automatically to javascript by opening a post processor and the function list will show the functions immediately without any additional language setup.
Go to "Settings --> Style Configurator.." and select javascript. Now you can add here a user defined extension, for us it is "cps":

Hi guys,
Does anyone have a problem where function list appears to be empty with newer versions of notepad++ ?
I'm using the latest version of Notepad++ 7.3.3, but the issue existed in previous versions as well.
Should I downgrade it to some older version?

It works here with 6.9.2.
EDIT: Just updated to 7.3.3 and still works.

Thanks for the info.
I updated it on my laptop and it's good but on my home pc it's not.
I'll dig deeper into it later.

@Lonnie.Cady I'll try to find a solution.. If not, I'll switch to another editor. Brackets is a good choice.
Thanks.

@Lonnie.Cady I have just found a solution!
- Close Notepad++
- Press WindowsKey-R, paste "%APPDATA%\notepad++\" and press ENTER
- Edit the functionList.xml file
- ADD this code between all others association codes:
-
<association langID="19" id="js_function"/>
5. ADD this code between other parser codes:<parser id="js_function" displayName="Javascript" commentExpr="(?s:/\*.*?\*/)|(?m-s://.*?$)"> <function mainExpr="((^|\s+|[;\}\.])([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*[=:]|^|[\s;\}]+)\s*function(\s+[A-Za-z_]?\w*\([^\)\(]*\)|\([^\)\(]*\))[\n\s]*\{" > <functionName> <nameExpr expr="[A-Za-z_]\w*\s*[=:]|[A-Za-z_]?\w*\s*\(" /> <nameExpr expr="[A-Za-z_]?\w*" /> </functionName> <className> <nameExpr expr="([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*\." /> <nameExpr expr="([A-Za-z_]\w*\.)*[A-Za-z_]\w*" /> </className> </function> </parser> - If you find this difficult to do, I have attached my function list xml file. Just delete yours and replace it with mine.
This solution works perfectly in my case. I finally have function list back 🙂
