Do you really want to add extra hidden (because nobody would click on a tab, because nowhere else in the system it's like that) buttons just to save two seconds?
* Show Definition - which opens a browser on the right code
* click on the pen near top right corner, select extensions package, select method * select the meta tab, select a class, select extensions package, select method Do you really need a special hidden button to maybe save two seconds on a five second action that you rarely perform?
* Create Custom Extension - which opens a dialog to create a new package "MyGTExtensions" and/or select an existing package, specify an identifier and choose a template that is created and Browser opened.
Why not just open a browser and add a method? You can protocolize the method with two clicks or a shortcut, and it's already part of the system. Unless you plan on writing two hundred extensions, you are really not going to save anything, because you spend most of the time actually implementing it and not bootstrapping it. (At least that's my experience after writing 20 or 30 extensions). Another tip that I tend to use: * open spotter, type #gtInsp, press ctrl + m (to select implementors), enable live preview (if you haven't already), look around for inspiration (just to be clear... I am not strictly against adding it, but it feels like it add another hidden feature (that's undiscoverable) for very little benefit) Peter
