I would love to try such kind of system. Did you try to write a small prototype? Stef Don;t worry for your english we are all making mistakes (happily). On Sep 23, 2009, at 2:57 AM, empty wrote:
Hi,
I'm a ten year Smalltalker, in spare time. I found most IDE are not usable at all.
To enable usable an IDE I suggest separating info input service and edit service and mouse selection services.
In short, each inputting area on any browser/inspector/explorer/etc should have a visible reference Letter and a floating inputting window for inputting service. On that window you type cd target-area-ref-letter return then the floating input window move to the target area waiting for user input and auto-complete/in-line edit things will be supported by inputting service here in the input window. When user return, the text is send to the target. Mousing/key board selecting/editing etc. will be handled by the current topic area and one get the input window back to work on.
This could be think of as a modernized xterm in Smalltalk.
(sorry I'm not a native English speaker)
