Toolbar button to toggle codemining on/off

[n-e-g]

Sometimes when browsing through the code it would be good to disable the code mining temporarily. Having toolbar button e.g. next to 'Toggle Breadcrumb' buttonto quickly switch it on and off would be a realy nice feature.

@vogella what do you think about this feature?

I think we should have an additional preference "Enable code mining". This preference could be toggled via the toobar button or the preference setting.

Please note JDT host now (2018 12) references and implementations minings and the preferences provide an Enable codemining checkbox.

do they provide toolbar button or shortcut key ? ... maybe we could post feature req for that into eclipse ?

... I did notice that code mining tends to break when first enabling, so I would have to close/open editor. Maybe eclipse support for minings needs to be more robust for button to work nicely.

I tried to assign a shortcut-key to enable code minings (which behaves probably like the toolbar button): When deactivating code minings the effect on the editor is immediate. But when reactivating nothing happens, unless I start to make changes to the file.
