please try it out and let me know what you would expect from a real Smalltalk scripting environment. Something that would really push me in using Coral is an intelligent prompt. A list of the things the prompt should do: - crawling into the history of typed commands using up and down key arrow - tab completion (classes and method name) - colored output - Ctl-D to quit - Keybinds: * Ctlr-A beginning of the line * Ctrl-E end of the line * Alt- -> / Alt- <- to jump words
Please, please, keep UI feel homogeneous ! Why not HOME, END, CTRL + -> like any other text editor in the world ? Even squeak is following that convention in TextMorphs ! Also let SHIFT+CONTROL+-> select over words and typed characters overwrite selection. You don't have to imitate a poor man's shell! Let history cycle when at beginning/end of list (with some form of advertising). And let restrict history crawling among lines matching the first letters if you typed some (like Matlab does). Nicolas
