Gdb has a nice feature to not go into certain functions when the "step" command is executed. A list of functions can be given with the "skip" command.

See if something can be added to Seer to ease this with some dialog.

Here's some good references.

A thought is to add a button to the "info symbol" widget to add a skip via a object symbol.

Seer's Source and Symbol browser should be able to quickly add a skip for a source file or for a function prototype.

Manually adding the skip commands into a Seer project works well. Just need to have a dialog under Settings to be able to manage a Skip list.
