Spotter is showing me "Classes 5/26". How do I see the remaining 21? - Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spotter-How-to-see-more-beyond-tp4803696.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi, Select any of that 5 items and use CMD (Alt on windows,linux)+Shift+Right. Of course shortcuts in spotter are not very obvious, so we are planning to add hints and have all actions to present as buttons in UI Cheers, Alex On Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 7:11 PM, Sean P. DeNigris wrote: > Spotter is

I've been meaning to ask the same question.In light of your answer, Would you consider being able to place the cursor on the line "Classes 5/26" line, and using the standard CMD-Right rather than CMD-Shift-Right. To me that seems to follow the pattern of CMD-Right "opening up" an item. cheers

because right controls the search input box cursor. Maybe a shortcut to switch focus between input search box and the search results panel could cut down the complexity of the shortcuts considerably. On Thu, Feb 5, 2015 at 12:00 PM, Guillermo Polito wrote: > Maybe I'm not getting it but, Why not

Hi, Switching is costly, and we went to great lengths to not have any switching between the text and the list in spotter. This won't change :). But, there will likely be some way to switch to the preview, but this is still a work in progress. Cheers, Doru On Thu, Feb 5, 2015 at 11:22 AM, kilo

Hi, Yes. As Alex said, we want all actions to have a visual representation. This is on our todo list. As for configurability, there is no grand plan at the moment. We could indeed expose shortcuts as settings. Cheers, Doru On Thu, Feb 5, 2015 at 1:32 PM, Sean P. DeNigris wrote: > kilon.alio

+1 on what Stef said. And for what it’s worth, I think that the biggest step to add usability of the spotter right now would be a simple legend at the bottom of the results. It would list the shortcut keys applicable to the current selection with a small description of what they do. It’s not

Hi Stef, I think we are misunderstanding our terms :) Let's take an example: When you have the default Spotter, don't you feel like clicking on the triangle that goes outside of the normal bounds of the window? And once you do that, does that not teach you about a new functionality without any ma

Hi, I agree (again) that the shortcuts are not well explained and we will work on it. Showing a list of all actions far away from the context in which they should be used is more of a patch than a solution though. Let us search for a better way :). Tooltips will probably be the first thing we'll t

What is it that Marcus always says? “The perfect is the enemy of progress” or something like that ;-) Sure, let’s search for a better way, but can we have some intermediate solution in the mean time? For example, I think that just above the entry field you could put 1 line of keyboard shortcuts
