Custom Nav Walker to show siblings and children of current branch?

Well, as much as I prefer to have my own walker and control over the nav, I found a plugin that does exactly what I want: Advanced Menu Widget
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-menu-widget/

Only tested slightly but its working just as I expected, just have to select “Only strictly related sub-menu” in the menu widget config. I should note, to other beginner theme devs like me, I tried this plugin once before and couldn’t figure out how to configure it. (couldn’t find the widget config) Well, that was only due to the fact that my theme didn’t have sidebars enabled yet, hence, no widgets!

Anyway I don’t like depending on a plugin for my theme nav, but its working so well, and I don’t have to build it. 🙂 Problem solved.
