Hi Drew.
I kinda like it :) but...
The two second thing is a nice touch but I'm concerned that there is no
"right" delay value. It's clunky to you, but may not be enough time for
someone who has special accessibility needs. Before settling on a value
I'd check with the accessibility folks.
An alternate approach would be to display a buffer at the bottom that
tells the user where they are in their typing. Then both the two second
thing and the backspace-reset can be disabled, and the user can
backspace through the buffer and retype as desired (like how Firefox
search works).
Thanks,
Jack

Round 4!

The latest webrev now incorporates spelling of words. If you pause
for more than 2 seconds between key presses, it reverts back to "first
letter" jumping. <backspace> will clear your spelling buffer, allowing
you to start over.
I'd really like to have folks play with this a little bit because this
is starting to feel clunky (to me, anyway). The 2 second delay seems
like *way* too much, but I type fast so I have a poor frame of reference.
Could I get some folks to try this out and give me some feedback?
ssh indiana-build
export
PYTHONPATH=/net/mox.us.oracle.com/tank/code/cr_7161344/proto/root_i386-nd/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages
sudo sysconfig create-profile -g location
This will bring up just the timezone screen and won't actually change
the timezone on indiana-build.
Thanks!

Good afternoon!
I'd like to get some discussion (and a possible code review) for the
following CR:
7161344 <http://monaco.us.oracle.com/detail.jsf?cr=7161344>
ScrollWindows should support letter jumping
https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/caiman/drewfish/CR_7161344/webrev/
This fix adds the ability for ScrollWindows to *optionally* allow the
author to enable "first letter" jumping. I made this optional
because users may not want letter jumping for short scroll windows.
Before going any further, I wanted to see if folks had issues or
concerns with this approach.
If you'd like to try this out do the following:
export
PYTHONPATH=/net/mox.us.oracle.com/tank/code/cr_7161344/proto/root_i386-nd/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages
sudo sysconfig create-profile
(don't worry, you're not going to reconfigure your system)
Proceed through the screens until you get to the timezone screen and
try the letter jumping.
Once done, simply hit F9 to exit (when you do this, you'll hit
another bug with ScrollWindows - it's 7160551 but don't worry about it)
Let me know if you have questions! I'd like to get this in the gate
so Seth stops sending me angry email. :)
