It's really not that bad at all -- it's actually pretty common in other types of applications. Web browsers often pop up a bar for the "find" command when you invoke it that goes away when you're not searching, for example, and in many video games you can press Enter to pop up a console that goes away when you're done with it. Even in vim the command line is placed over the status bar when it's in use. I can easily see pressing : in FakeVim's command mode popping up a line edit at the bottom of the screen, or likewise pressing Ctrl+K to pop up a locator bar. /s/ Adam _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
