From a conceptual point of view, browsing code is like browsing a fractal. Tools must take this into account.
Who remembers the Occam folding editor (1983)? This was the first time I saw this kind of outline-based navigation for code: https://www.transputer.net/tn/03/tn03.html#x1-30002
Also it'd be nice to have something that is more spatial. A famous memory technique is remembering where things are in space[1], but I've never seen a code browser that works spatially. (I have no idea how to actually do this.)
