[ANN]Windows previewer / switcher for Pharo
Hello, This mail to announce you that I am working on a windows previewer / switcher for Pharo [1]. It is still in early stage of development but it is usable. To install it: |Metacello new repository: 'github://JulienDelplanque/WindowsPreviewer/repository'; baseline: 'WindowsPreviewer'; load| See the README for details on activation/shortcuts. Please, if you have some ideas or critics let me know! Also, a better name than "Windows Previewer" would be cool but I have no other idea :-)...

Also, here is a screenshot (I forgot to attach it to the preceding mail). Julien On 28/06/16 11:06, Julien Delplanque wrote:

Thanks Julien. Testing it. It looks pretty cool and seems really useful for my clutter windows usage that Pharo / Smalltalk tends towards.

Argh i was so thrilled by this ! But it doesn't seem to work on windows :/ Ctrl+tab gives the focus to the front window or makes an "inspect it" on the current editor line... Thank you anyway ! On 28/06/2016 14:51, Julien Delplanque wrote:

Hi Julien, yes, finding a shortcut satisfying all users (for all different platforms) is not easy, see 15546 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/15546/alt-tab-does-not-work-correctly> alt+tab does not work correctly and 17924 <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17924/Switch-Windows-shortcut> Switch Windows shortcut 2016-06-29 0:31 GMT+02:00 Merwan Ouddane <merwanouddane@gmail.com>:

For windows, to make ctrl+tab working, you need to disable the "hasSpecialCTRLKeyValue"-check (I think this check is not needed anymore, since we changed the windows vm for ctrl+number/tab/space... keystrokes)
Thank you anyway !

Julien it may be good to put all the preview morphs on top of a blurry translucent morph so that we clearly identify them but still see the background Stef Le 29/6/16 à 23:42, Nicolai Hess a écrit :

Yes it was one of the idea I already had to make it more sexy and advertise the user that he is using it. Thanks for the feedback. :) Julien On 30/06/16 07:37, stepharo wrote:

Hi, Ok then I need to think about a nice solution... Maybe by making the shortcut modifiable by the user in the "Settings browser"? I think it would be good to have Ctrl/Cmd+Tab on all platform but it can be done yet. Julien On 29/06/16 23:42, Nicolai Hess wrote:

Yes it works, thanks Nicolai. Is there a case where this method is still relevant ? I noticed some other weird behaviours in the events from the keyboard. ctrl + 'arrow up' and down are sending two keydown events instead of a keydown and a keystroke like the left and right arrow are sending.
Thank you anyway !

I noticed some other weird behaviours in the events from the keyboard.
ctrl + 'arrow up' and down are sending two keydown events instead of a keydown and a keystroke like the left and right arrow are sending.
I think this is some special behavior to deliver mouse scroll events.
Thank you anyway !
