[Pharo-project] suggestion for the category chooser
Hi I think that the category chooser could be improved to avoid to have to type twice the category. Right now if I want to create a category I have to know up front whether it exist or not then I have to select new if it does not else if naively I type the new cat the ui tells me well that it is not defined but in such a case I have to retype it. The solution could be remove the fact that for new category we have to press new... when the user enter the category whether it matches or not return the string that the user entered modulo with its matched string in the list. This way as a user I do not have to choose upfront. I want to create a cat I either select on the list or I type and there is one which I can select or I type and there is none in the list so we get a new one the I typed. Stef

it would be nice to use things like browser's search bar, so when you start typing, a list pops up with suggested names.

Are you referring to the search bar which displays "C... (class search), i... (implementor search), #C... (class ref search), #s... (sender search)"? How does this search bar actually work? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/suggestion-for-the-category-chooser-tp2371841p2375675.h...
