Why not just open a browser and add a method? You can protocolize the method with two clicks or a shortcut, and it's already part of the system. Unless you plan on writing two hundred extensions, you are really not going to save anything, because you spend most of the time actually implementing it and not bootstrapping it. (At least that's my experience after writing 20 or 30 extensions). Another tip that I tend to use: * open spotter, type #gtInsp, press ctrl + m (to select implementors), enable live preview (if you haven't already), look around for inspiration (just to be clear... I am not strictly against adding it, but it feels like it add another hidden feature (that's undiscoverable) for very little benefit) Peter
