Morphic text filed plus autocompetion

I like to make myself a little command shell inside the image. For this I would need a textfield that can popup somewhere on the screen and that has enough hooks for text entry events and hooks/support for auto-completion.

What would be the best things to read/the best code to look at in order to learn how I can accomplish that.

thanks,

Norbert

You may have a look at the Spotlight widget Esteban made.

Spotlight?

Thanks cami! Although it might sound embarrassing I was indeed googling for it to find a video by James Robertson where I get the shift+enter hint :)

I didn't know the shortcut for a long time either :P, good to know that you start finding answers about pharo on google these days!

Argh, and it is such an important feature !

Never open a browser to invoke find class, never type a class name somewhere to browse...

Same goes for you ;-)  Age ?

But I am serious: once you get used to using SHIFT+ENTER, you will never open a browser to invoke find class, never type a class name somewhere to browse, _every again_. And you won't understand how you ever could live without it.

... and the Spotlight2 we are preparing for Pharo3 is even better ;)

Ah you mean this "dish washer" kind of thing? Ok I'll try! I'm not sure I'm able to adapt. I'm using vi for over 20 years and probably know 8 things to do with it. So let's see

Hi all,
also notice that the default text entry widget has already an autocompletion feature.
see WidgetExamples>>exampleTextEntryWithCompletionDialog
You can find several uses of it. See EditorFindReplaceDialogWindow>>newFindTextEntryMorph as another example.
Cheers
