GTInspector

Thanks to the GTInspector, I am in a very good mood today.
The Cmd-o command is so powerful.

Maybe, one day, we will not have code browser anymore, but simply powerful inspector.

Some small requests:
- If nothing is selected, and I press Cmd-o, can the line be used as a selection instead?
- can the list of superclasses be reversed when I browse a method?

I think you will always have a need for other types of browsers, but I also think that the inspector should be a place where developers will want to spend a significant amount of time. Nowadays, most of the coding is done in the code browser, far away from the objects. That is not object-oriented, it's class-oriented. Object-oriented should expose you much more to objects.

Btw, have you tried using Cmd+o while editing a method in the Methods presentation?

Some small requests:
- If nothing is selected, and I press Cmd-o, can the line be used as a selection instead?

This is on my wish list for a long time. Could you open an issue for this?

- can the list of superclasses be reversed when I browse a method?

Hmm. That is easily done, but the idea was to ensure that you pay attention to the current class first. Can you detail the reason for why that is an issue?

In any case, the current Methods browser will be overhauled hopefully in the not too distant future. But, I am looking for people that are willing to spend some time working on widgets to reinvent the class editor. Anyone? :)

Self is certainly inspirational, but we can do more with the IDE than what Self did :)

No, but I am not sure what it should happen. Consider the screenshot:

Pressing cmd-o does not do much. Where the focus should be?

Re: GTInspector

Hi,

Indeed, I was not clear.

There are two situations in which you can use Cmd+o:

- if you have a unary method, you can execute it directly by selecting it from the methods list and pressing Cmd+o

- if you are in the code pane, you can select code at any time and press Cmd+o (for example, in your case, you can just select "self" and press Cmd+o). This is like you do it in the code browser, only you do not have to instantiate self.

Cool, I did not know
