Suggestions: on "Esc" close the popup and unselect the current selection
Good point. +1 on "Enter" insert the printIt-result.
Indeed, this is something I thought of, too. However, I am not convinced that the frequency of needing to insert the result of "print it" warrants a shortcut
I often have a few lines of snippets listed in a Workspace that I want to compare the results, or copy/paste the lot to some documentation. I was thinking of asking for a <pin> icon/button, but inserting as text is a better idea.
that can be so easily use (i.e., Enter can be used also for adding a line). Right now, if you want to insert, you do Cmd+c, Esc, Cmd+v.
I would go for <space> rather than <enter>, since intuitively that keeps you on the same line.
but also enter means âacceptâ in everybodyâs brain (and other tools prefer that over space). anyway, +1 to that⦠is something that I really miss. Esteban
I also don't think 'Print It' is not that common, and if you use it you want the output to be in a comment anyway so the syntax highlighting doesn't make everything red.
When the result is inserted, surrounding it by comment quotes is a good idea.

I also wanted to add that the whole idea of GT-Tools is to do a lot and even more powerful things based on a few simple concepts. We are currently making lots of small usability changes, which is all good, but we have to guard the simplicity.
