Morphic text filed plus autocompetion
I like to make myself a little command shell inside the image. For this I would need a textfield that can popup somewhere on the screen and that has enough hooks for text entry events and hooks/support for auto-completion. What would be the best things to read/the best code to look at in order to learn how I can accomplish that. thanks, Norbert
You may have a look at the Spotlight widget Esteban made. It's mainly a text area with auto completion Ben On Sep 30, 2013, at 2:18 PM, Norbert Hartl <norbert@hartl.name> wrote:

Hi all, also notice that the default text entry widget has already an autocompletion feature. see WidgetExamples>>exampleTextEntryWithCompletionDialog You can find several uses of it. See EditorFindReplaceDialogWindow>>newFindTextEntryMorph as another example. Cheers Alain ----- exampleTextEntryWithCompletionDialog "self new exampleTextEntryWithCompletionDialog" | applicants entryCompletion | applicants := (Array streamContents: [:strm | Symbol allSymbolTablesDo: [:each | (each notEmpty and: [each first canBeGlobalVarInitial and: [Smalltalk globals includesKey: each]]) ifTrue: [strm nextPut: each]]]) sort. entryCompletion := EntryCompletion new dataSourceBlock: [:currText | applicants]; filterBlock: [:currApplicant :currText | currText size > 3 and: [currApplicant asUppercase includesSubstring: currText asString asUppercase]].

Argh, and it is such an important feature ! Never open a browser to invoke find class, never type a class name somewhere to browse...

Same goes for you ;-) Age ? But I am serious: once you get used to using SHIFT+ENTER, you will never open a browser to invoke find class, never type a class name somewhere to browse, _every again_. And you won't understand how you ever could live without it.

Ah you mean this "dish washer" kind of thing? Ok I'll try! I'm not sure I'm able to adapt. I'm using vi for over 20 years and probably know 8 things to do with it. So let's see Norbert
