However, i hope that "alt-tab switching" do not mean you override the system behavior of the alt+tab. The "comment editor" is very, very, very ugly and i vote for rewrite it from scratch. Ok, it's like firing on the red cross, but: - If i mark a square red in the comment appears [%draw full,d7,red] : seriously? - Why there is a minuscule (not resizeable) copy of the board? - And the annotation symbols are the final joke, i really laugh every time i use it.
What's a simple "comment editor" in my opinion? A simple box when you can type comments, right click to insert an annotation symbol and that is closed and saved when i finished typing. The only option that i want in this window is to give up my changes and close without saving. And i'll prefer it over the board: when i want to write a comment in a position ctrl+e, appears a semi-transparent text-box where i write, then ctrl+e close and save the comment. But i don't know if tk supports semi-transparent backgrounds. The "insert mark" should be a combo box in the toolbar, let's say like the one to change the character color in openoffice. I don't know why you prefer to leave the window opened. Ctrl+e is better than alt-tab to focus on the window and the comments are more ofter read than written, so why keep opened a window rarely used? Bye, Fulvio P.S. Do you know if there is a way to remove the navigation button over the board (left arrow, right arrow, etc...)? I can't find an option in the menu so i resolved deleting it from the code, and i'm thinking to add on option like the "show game info", but perhaps it already exist and i cannot find it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
