Thanks for this! I wanted a widget like this for a long time.
Cool! Glad you like it... Tudor Girba-2 wrote
It would certainly be interesting to join forces here.
Absolutely :) Tudor Girba-2 wrote
- Computing the result list should not block the UI (it can take long). - The amount of items in a section should be limited and if there are more of them they should be seen in a separate list or something like that. The idea would be to limit the vertical size of the widget.
Yes! These are the first two items on my to-do list, but I wanted to release and get feedback first. Tudor Girba-2 wrote
- The widget should be dismissible with Esc. - Pressing the up/down arrows should move in the list. Any other typed character should continue modifying the text field area. - "SpotlightCompletionExample open" does not seem work.
These should all be working. I'll see if maybe I forgot to commit something... Tudor Girba-2 wrote
- The first element in the list should be selected all the time. Like this, you can type and then press Enter without using arrows and the mouse.
I have to think about this one. - For Spotlight, I guess it makes sense as long as the most exact match appears first. There was a reaaaaaaally annoying Spotlight behavior that "String" would send you to browse StringAPISetting or some such nonsense. - For entry completion, what if the text field is part of a larger widget. It's conceivable that one would end up typing something not in the list, and the text field may have its own enter behavior e.g. accept on enter... Tudor Girba-2 wrote
- The list of results should not allow editing (it now does so). - The input text should be a field (so, no enter should be allowed).
I'm not sure what you mean. Will you say more about these? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spotlight-Demo-tp4733077p4733331.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
