Wow, Nautilus is *really* fun to use! I have quite a few ideas for plugins...
Cool :)
A few suggestions... * Hierarchical package list - also, since with Metacello the convention is (e.g. P-Core, P-UI, P-Tests) with no overarching package, it should group all packages matching P-*, even if they are technically separate packages
We thought of that, but first, we had to make the tree widgets faster :)
* I miss the search bar from OB where I could just start typing as soon as I opened the window. It seems that Nautilus doesn't set the keyboard focus anywhere useful.
This is strange, the focus should be at the nice place (like class if you browse a class, method if you browse a method and so on) I will check that.
Options: - search bar
I will keep that in mind ;)
- typing brings up the class search dialog - give keyboard focus to the package list so I can use the shortcuts right away. This may be the best one because I have access to 3 options: - cmd-F to search packages - cmd-f to search classes - start typing to do a basic package search
As I said, the focus should be there.
* creating new methods - when you click a protocol name, the "messageSelectorAndArgumentNames" template is displayed in the code pane, and is pre-selected. I found this very confusing as a newbie because the selection made me think that I could start typing to replace the template, but the keyboard focus is not on the template. It's also useless because when you click on the code pane, it unselects, so you have to double-click anyway.
True ! I already notice that ^^ To be honest, I just copy/paste the behavior from the default browser, but I will change that soon ^^
Two suggestions - from the class pane, protocol pane, or both, have an "add method" menu item that transfers focus to the preselected template - when just clicking on a protocol, don't pre-select the template
* back/forward buttons for history navigation?
They use to be there, I will reintroduce them :)
* a centralized place to put/list plugins so we can share them
I have now idea how to do that except creating a dedicated repository :)
And then a Plugin to fetch them :3
Many thanks to Benjamin. This was sorely needed!
Cheers, Sean
Thanks to you for your feedback and your good ideas :)
Ben
