Well, are not Smalltalks pop-up menus (i.e. the world menu and all the other context menus) solving the problem in the most beautiful way possible?
No, they're not.
I was shocked when i recently read somewhere on this list that people are thinking about introducing menu bars in order to make everything look more like everything else looks.
One HCI principle: discoverability. How to understand it? List all the commands in smart suggestions by looking at the popup menus.
The difference of Pharo (and it's UI!) was what lured me into it, not what constituted a barrier :) And while i would also make a case for difference only for it's own sake, i think there are very good reasons for the pop-up menus.
You're perfectly right :). Its just wiser to be aware of popup menus limitations. Thierry -- Thierry Goubier CEA list Laboratoire des Fondations des Systèmes Temps Réel Embarqués 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex France Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95
