I just checked the current panels for CW Palm 8. Keyboard editing
mostly works, the only exceptions were the color selectors in the editor
settings (no focus on color swatches) and panels with radio buttons
(they would change as you tabbed through them. I'll check on the radio
button bug today, but all of the other pref panels were working just
fine with keyboard navigation.

This still seems to be broken in the IDE that was shipped with CW Pro 7.
I'll check to see how its being handled internally.

Good one... I think we can correct this.

Can't say anything about this one yet. :)
We already have a new class wizard, however. It works through the class
browser -- in CW Palm 7, bring up the browser using "View/Class
Browser", then you will see a new Browser menu which lets you insert new
classes or modify existing classes.

One thing that helps is to use the IDE in FDI mode by going to the
"General/IDE Extras" panel and turning off "Use Multiple Document
Interface". This puts the IDE into free floating window mode, where you
no longer have the grey blob of a background window. This works well
for interacting with tools like the emulator and reminds me of Visual
Basic's setup.

Thanks!
