However, I also believe it is important to think about a typology of the possible enter behavior and build specific API-hooks for each of these behaviors. This would particularly become important down the line if we get serious about stringing multiple commands together (a la http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla/topics/piping_the_output_of_one_command_to_another_command), so that Ubiq can identify the type of the output of one command to feed into the next. If we know that a certain command opens a tab, say, and has no textual result, then it would be illogical to let the user "pipe" that output to the next command, and so Ubiquity could disallow that. Let me know if that isn't clear... ^^ mitcho > > > On Sat, Jan 31, 2009 at 5:06 PM, Aza <[email protected]> wrote: > >> The ambiguity of the return key was entirely a by-product of my laziness >> when I was sprinting to do a demo.
