Re: [Pharo-users] Text-Editing UI

If you do, send me a message about what you're considering, and I can help you choose. I'm much more knowledgeable about CBs that the average person -- especially about programming on them & using Linux on them. Another nice thing about Chromebooks is that they're inexpensive. Meaning, you get

Re: [Pharo-users] Text-Editing UI

Wow! Nice to know there are success stories like yours. When we were having issues and trying to determine which way we should go to, we just couldn’t find good answers on the CB side. Perhaps we should give it another go! On Sun, Aug 2, 2020 at 5:34 PM tbrunz wrote: > Of course, ask a

Re: [Pharo-users] Text-Editing UI

Of course, ask a half-dozen people about this subject and you'll get 6 different responses... Between myself, my wife, my daughter, family, friends, we've had at least 8 CBs. None have failed. My wife is still using (and loving) the 2015 Pixel LS CB I got 5 years ago. Not even the battery has

Re: [Pharo-users] Text-Editing UI

Yes, I played with my daughter's chromebook - was considering doing just what you're suggesting - a few weeks later it died - well not completely - but is finicky enough that she can't use it for her masters work any longer (too unreliable) - so she went back to a 2013 MacBookPro... (they just

Look at the keyboard -- that's a Chromebook, not a WinTel or Linux laptop. That was about a year & a half ago. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Re: [Pharo-users] Text-Editing UI

Not exactly the answer you're looking for, but... Take a look at the latest Chromebooks. They are *awesome*. Beats iPads & iOS! There are "tablet" Chromebooks (the keyboard folds all the way underneath the touchscreen, and is de-activated), as well as keyboard-detachable models, as well as

Re: [Pharo-users] Text-Editing UI

+1 - platform specific defaults. Also, is there any document anyone can point me to on why Pharo is not viable for iOS? I have an iPad Pro and I'd LOVE to be able to code/test and run my apps when I travel... my old MacBookPro is getting long-in-the-tooth. On Sun, Aug 2, 2020 at 1:01 PM tbrunz

Re: [Pharo-users] Text-Editing UI

It might be best to have this be configurable/customizable for each user (which is what I think you're getting at). The question is what should the default "out of the box" behavior be? There are conventions, although they're not exactly "standardized" (as they should be). Most of us have

[Pharo-users] Text-Editing UI

Hello. I would like to modify the text-editing UI in Pharo to add some affordances I’m accustomed to from MacOS. Specifically, right now command(a.k.a. meta)-left/right-arrow moves one word left/right in Pharo, whereas on MacOS this is done with the option(a.k.a. alt)-key, and
