Ha, the "click-for-focus" mosquito finally bit someone besides me. Sean, to live happily ever after, in Preferences, just enable mouseOverForKeyboardFocus. It solves all of the problems you mentioned above, reduces the overall effort needed to use the system because merely "pointing" at an object endows it with 100+ "mouse buttons" (left, middle, right, + the whole keyboard). It is more becoming of an object-oriented system, and if you can keep it on long enough to get used to it, I'll bet you'll never want to go back.. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
