Thierry, i'd forgotten about alt-browser, I recall reading about it a long time ago. I'll check it out as it's sounds like the metaphor I'm thinking about. The current class/instance toggle just doesn't work well in my opinion - I like the idea of a tree on the protocol pane, that feels like a good use of space. Anyway, it seems like I'm a bit of a lone voice on this - but that's no problem, I can write something for myself and see how I get on. If Calypso lives up to what I saw, it sounds like I should be able to mould it happily for me. Tim Sent from my iPhone

This would also make easier to move methods from class side to instance side or vica versa with simple drag and drop (without relying on the refactor/move to class side option).
The AltBrowser has been providing that tree view for a few years.
That view is very convenient when you want to see class methods names while writing an instance method (and the reverse).
Never thought of that need for the drag and drop feature. Maybe I'll add it (or simply check how it currently behaves for that use case).
