[squeak-dev] Cuis Development Enhancements?

Stephen Pair
I really like the simplicity of Cuis, but there are a couple enhancements I'd like to use.  Primarily syntax coloring and auto completion.  I tried loading one version of Shout, but it didn't work.  A few refactoring operations would be nice as well (though not necessarily the full refactoring browser).  I don't suppose anyone has adapted any of this for Cuis?  Also, I haven't tried loading Monticello, but that would be nice too (since so much stuff is available as MC packages).  I'd also like to see some cross-fork, simple widget library become widely adopted to make it possible to build simple GUIs that work across different forks.

+1 for Monticello support. I think Monticello would be extremely  
useful, not only for loading outside packages but even more so for  
working together on Cuis code.

These shouldn't be too hard, I hope.

That would be PluggableMorphs, right? ToolBuilder
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5607 looks like an good alternative, too.
