I was thinking of a browser focused only on items displayed in a working set. 
However, this is a slightly different definition of working set (one where you 
can also pinned down some entities).

One problem I noticed but related to completion (because I also have this 
problem with the mercury search bar). When completing a keyword message, spaces 
are automatically inserted between keyword to put parameters. This fails the 
search because it does not take the full message, only a part of it.

On a sidenote, it seems that installing WrokingSet deactivates the shortcut to 
Algernon (shift-return). Can someone confirm?

I think that Stéphane did a bit of hacking at one point :)
I know the logic is in the RealEstateAgent class.

At one time, I thought that making the window appears with the title bar right 
under the mouse pointer could be a good idea. If the window placement does not 
suite you, you can click and move the window. Besides, if you open windows 
through the world menu, that means you clicked in an empty space right before, 
so good location to start.
