List Method selection could be improved
Hi It seems that we got some regressions in the method pane. - Sometimes I have the impression that I cannot look for a method just typing the starting letter - When deleting a method it would be good that the next item is selected. What do you think? Stef

That it should be modified to behave as you expect, which is a common pattern of list selection. Plus (in Pharo 3): - You can't individually select separate elements (methods) by holding down Ctrl and clicking on them. - You can select continuous elements using Shift, but once you start dragging them the one that has the cursor when the drag operation starts is unselected. (so if you we're going to recategorize 5 methods, you end up doing it for only 4). I don't know if those are regressions, but they certainly doesn't follow the most used patterns of element selection. Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo
Pharo3: keep your finger on shift at all times to move multiple things. Christophe Demarey showed it to me as I was complaining. Still, completely unintuitive. Phil On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 8:52 PM, Esteban A. Maringolo <emaringolo@gmail.com> wrote:
