true. still slick, but less eyecandy plus the application doesn't
lose focus.
but otoh we've already got something like this: just assign the same
shortcut to multiple commands (i.e. ctrl-shift-a) and you get a
contextual menu (which, btw. also listens to cursor-keys and jumps to
the first entry on typing a letter, i.e. to commit a file you press
ctrl-shift-a, then 's', then 'return')
How is it that every time I use this application I learn something new,
and yet I still didn't know this! Now I get why some commands
have the same keystroke <smack>forehead forehead</smack>
so the idea for these 'popups' would be, that they're easier to
configure, i.e
. dragging a few commands inside the bundle editor onto
a palette instead of changing n keyboard shortcuts.
perhaps the bundle editor could get a little 'landing zone' where you
drag commands to in order to add them to the shelf (as well as a
'edit...' button to rearrange end edit the shelf)
Or even one that shows all the commands with a given keyshort cut that you can add and subtrack keystrokes from
i think we're getting somewhere here...
