Is Find class (cmd-F) in the default browser not enough?
or typing in any pane the class and doing cmd-B
The problem I find with cmd-F is that if I'm already in the middle of
typing a method - it wants to refocus my browser on the new class (often
causing me to have to save changes that I'm not finished doing yet). AND
- there is also no back button to go back to where I was typing my
method (so I've lost my context).
So it would seem the "Pharo way" is to open a new browser window - but
its not a smooth operation. Probably the closest is to start typing a
class name where I am and then use o/e-complete (but then I often have
to backspace over that text when I figure out actually what I needed to
do). So it all feels a bit more awkward than it should be?
But I guess the bigger question is - how can you guys that know how to do this,
impart the information and direction so that those of us following behind can
meaningfully contribute without wasting your time?
I do not know what you imply exactly.
Now my point is that if you improve the tools we will integrate them.
I would really like to get better tools.
Some of your points in this message helped thanks - what I was trying to
get at was, I was confused about which framework to learn and then build
on. I keep hearing about lots of different things OB, Glamour... and
then there seem to be several browsers (System, O2...) - so its not
clear where to start? I also would want to do it in a way that fits "the
vision" - but i'm not yet clear on what that vision is (I'm still learning)
Do you think there could be a How to Contribute to Pharo tools BOF at ESUG?
What is the direction - is it OB or is it Glamor? How do you get started with
OB, and what kinds of tools do we need?
- We need a better
Test Runner
Monticello Browser
(Benjmain did a better RecentMessageSet)
Deeper Refactoring integration
If you want to help there is plenty of topics. For example helping at
integrating my my package implementation
This list will give me a good starting point to talk to people at ESUG
and hopefully I will "learn to fish" so I can help out more productively.
Again, I'm sorry to bother everyone.
