Ghoul is cool! (thanks and some suggestions...)

Chris Uppal, I just had a chance to use your Ghoul goodie.  I love it!  It
makes it very easy to examine error logs.  Thanks for sharing it.  I want to
offer some enhancement suggestions.  It would be nice if there were a way to
open a class browser on the selected method (Ctrl-B is something I have
become very used to in Dolphin).  Also it would be great if there were a way
of opening an error log from the clipboard.  I usually get crash dumps in
e-mail and it would be nice to be able to just copy the last error to the
clipboard and paste it into Ghoul instead of having to save the file and
then open the file.

Thanks again,
Chris

Ah, I see, cupboard love...

Thanks, suggestions are always welcome.  Particularly...

... ones I've already implemented.

Actually, I haven't implemented ctrl+B /as such/[*], but you should find that
in the version you have, double-clicking in the stack frames list (or hitting
<return>) will lauch a CHB on the relevant method.  (<thinks>Perhaps I should
have mentioned that in the documentation somewhere... </thinks>).

As it happens, the forthcoming version can pull data off the clipboard too
(thanks to Bill Schwab who has also suggested the idea).  That version will
appear when I next update my website -- thay /may/ be sometime this week if I
get around to polishing/checking some stuff.

(Would adding ctrl-B specifically as an accelerator help ?  How about F12 ?)

Mentioning it in the documentation would only have given you the
satisfaction of being able to tell me to RTFM. ;)  I managed to check for a
context menu on the list, but apparently I did not think of double clicking
(Doh!).  The best thing might be to have it on a menu somewhere to make it
more apparent.  I have become used to Ctrl-B in Dolphin, but I can adapt to
anything so long as there is a quick way to get to the method to make
changes.  The existing functionality does exactly what I want.  Additional
functionality such as F12 would be handy, but probably is not critical since
I can easily get to the class browser now.
