Hi!
I have been working on OB. I did two enhancements of the new browser. They are pretty small, but necessary I feel. OBCommentAddon makes the comment of a class to be displayed when this class is selected. No need to press '?', except to edit it. OBAllMethods makes the list of methods to be displayed, without having to press --all--. I am working on some new improvements... cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.cs.tcd.ie/Alexandre.Bergel ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;. |

Do you think it's a good idea to copy the 'Find class' dialog from the leftmost pane to make a 'Find method' dialog for the method pane (rightmost pane) to allow typing in some text to find a method? I see that there's a 'Find method' available in the class pane (pane #2), but that shows only a dropdown of the available methods. When working on Morphic related things, it often gets tedious having to scroll up and down the list to get to the method I want. Duncan. |

I will try to concretize this idea asap... OB is so easy to extend, we should be able to get quickly a killer programming tool...

Excellent!!!This is so cool to see you hacking like that (when I'm fighting to hack in latex or not even have the time).

Did you try to type something when this popup is up ? Put the mouse cursor in the class pane, press alt-f or apple-f, you should get a dropdown method as you said. Start to type a name of a method... I think Diego did this few years ago...

Ah, very cool.
I learn something new everyday. Duncan. |

If the method is not in the current dropdown, the search won't be able to find it until you move thru the dropdowns to the one containing the method. Duncan. |
