A couple of random side-thoughts for Pharo 7. Would it be possible... * to have a "diff" tab, for example to compare two strings side by side, perhaps highlighting and being able to jump to the differences. * to somehow reference the parent pane, for example if the current pane shows a string element from an array, I can grab another string from the same array to diff against * coming at it from the other way, perhaps an array [Items] tab could be multi-selected for elements to diff
* it would be nice if you could right-click on a tab to get a menu item to open its implementation. Then in this case Stef might jump to the implementation of the [Raw], change the tab's name, remove the code skipping middle elements and in a few minutes have a new tab doing what he wants. * perhaps the tab menu item could be called "Customize" and it automatically copies and renames the [Raw] tab implementation into the String class so its ready for editing. cheers -ben On Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 3:19 AM, Andrei Chis <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Stef, > > Currently that's the default behaviour of the Raw view: it displays for > collections only the first and the last 21 elements.
