It is called a token field on the mac, as shown in the attachment. My
guess is it is doable as an extension of TextEditorView but it would
save me a lot of work if someone has implemented something alike that
I could reuse.
You enter text, and on "Enter" the text is shown within a soft blue
oval background, with the text white. When you have entered several of
these so-calles tokens your view is filled with these blue ovals. On
hovering over an oval I intend to implement an indicator that you can
pop up a menu (usually a downward facing triangle), which would be
nice in CairoGraphics I guess.
Anyway, one can always try.
