On the XEmacs tracker, we use a multilink with a checkbox list for the modules field. This allows you to type in the text field, to check multiple boxes, and provides input checking. In my typical usage, I don't find this cumbersome at all; it's my preferred UI for that field. (OTOH, I set it up, so my favorite components are all at the top. :-) The main problem is format of the checkbox page. By default it only allows a limited number of entries per page, the limit is pretty low because its formatted as a single column, and if you switch pages it "forgets" the entries you've already checked. This shouldn't be hard to improve, but I haven't bothered as I have yet to hear a complaint about it. > An input field with realtime completion would be probably better. Maybe. I've often been unable to remember the initial letter of a package, which makes completion difficult. ;-) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
