[3.10] TaskList shortcut keys

Hi,

I'm using Damien's nice sq3.10-7159dev08.01.1 image.
To navigate from a task to another I found the shortcut keys: CMD
+leftArrow or rightArrow.
The problem is that it keeps switching from a task to the other if I
keep the arrow key down.
Relasing the arrow key makes the task list disappear.
Is there some shortcut key to keep the TaskList displayed without
switching between tasks ?

Thanks,
Noury

RE: [3.10] TaskList shortcut keys

The task twitcher is part of the UI Enhancements package. I could add a
preference to keep it open (hold alt-arrow to cycle through, release and
stays up, can alt-arrow again to cycle or click buttons, any other key to
close and switch task).

The latest (Pinesoft-Widgets-gvc.284 from SqueakSource) version now includes
a preference for this behviour. Awaiting feedback before updating the
package Universe to this version.

This is not strictly related to TaskList and also is not filled into bugtrack database, but if you are going to do an update... Could you please look at the ParagraphEditor>>#dispatchOnCharacter:with: ? It stumbles upon non-ascii input (i.e. unicode) at the following snippet, which I think was your addition:

    "allow cut/copy/paste/selectAll regardless of cmdKeysInText preference.
    Useful when running a deployed/locked-down image (after disableProgrammerFacilities).
        ((#(cut: copySelection: paste: selectAll:) includes: (CmdActions at: char asciiValue + 1 ))
            and: [sensor commandKeyPressed])
        ifTrue:
            [^self perform: (CmdActions at: char asciiValue + 1) with: typeAheadStream].

CmdActions and ShiftCmdActions happened to be mapping arrays with size of 256 (which is not teh case anymore as squeak becomes multilingual now) Of course there are many ways to fix it (I just put a 'ifAbsent: [#noop]' hack into it) - I wonder why they are not dictionaries? That would me much cleaner. Was it a performance concern? - who knows now :)

Regards, Gary.

Thank you for great iu enchancements!

Looks like that isn't the only part of that method (even when "standard")
that could break.
I'll have a go at protecting the relevant parts.

Re: [3.10] TaskList shortcut keys

Yes, but people tend to write KeyboardInterpeters for their language that which mappings of Cmd-Unicode to corresponding Cmd-Ascii shortcuts (I know at least two cases :) ) So for me it broke there. Of course the whole method needs a proper fix - extracting of the access to cmd vars and maybe even converting them to Dictionary.

cheers,

Hi Gary,

I just tried your tasklist enhancement. Thanx for the improvement.
I'd like to report a bug I encountered (a feature?).
I had the preference browser and I checked some checkboxes. Then the
cmd-left arrow does not show the tasklist anymore. I had to click on
the window title bar in order to have the cmd-left arrow shortcut back.

RE: [squeak-dev] Re: [3.10] TaskList shortcut keys

Glad you like it. Which version of Pinesoft-Widgets are you using. This
problem was introduced while refactoring the keyboard handling to support
filtering on PopupChoiceDialogWindows. I believe it is fixed in the current
version (297).
