[Pharo-project] ANN: Periscope - Universal Navigation Sidebar for Nautilus
Hi all, I want to introduce a tool that, as I hope, may improve your Smalltalk browsing experience. It is named Periscope and it is an universal navigation sidebar for Nautilus that is common for all Nautilus windows. It is snapped to the display edge as the topmost window. Periscope uses a system of plugins written using Spec you may easily improve and adapt it for your needs. Currently it contains only three plugins created mainly for the demonstration. It is: - Tools starters plugin - Bookmarks plugin - Behavior references plugin that show class or trait references of the currently browsed class Of course I can imagine a wide side of next plugins like Spotlight plugin, instance variables plugin, method versions plugin, senders etc. Really cool would be plugins that would show additional information while writing code. Please feel free to improve Periscope. I hope Ben will come with a lot of new ideas and improvements. To test Periscope take some recent 2.0 image and evaluate: Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'PavelKrivanek' project: 'Periscope'; package: 'Periscope'; load. Nautilus pluginClasses add: {(Smalltalk at: #NautilusPeriscopePlugin). #none} ...then open Nautilus or open Periscope from the tools menu. Chees, -- Pavel

I would love to have a view that should me in and out going reference when I click on a package :)

I like the name, next one should be radar or echo :)

A set of buttons to open a browser, a workspace, a test runner or a MC browser :)
- Bookmarks plugin - Behavior references plugin that show class or trait references of the currently browsed class

Without having a deep look at the implementation, I think it can be done quite easily :) Just a little thing missing, a "remove" button for bookmarks :) But clearly, I _LOVE_ bookmarks :) Thanks, Ben

It's doable but the list could be really long for some packages :-)
