[squeak-dev] [ANN] Algernon: Your Personal Assistant for Squeak

[Joey Hagedorn]

Hello everyone!

We just wanted to announce our new software release, Algernon.  
Algernon is a keyboard-based launcher that provides lightning quick  
access to categories, classes, morphs, and global variables in your  
image. It's inspired by similar tools like Quicksilver and LaunchBar  
for Mac OS X. Give it a try and let us know what you think. We hope  
you love using it as much as we do!

Thanks,
Erik Hinterbichler and Joey Hagedorn

http://map.squeak.org/account/package/b263b71c-9359-424c-bcc8-1269ccd4ccf8

P.S.
None of this would have been possible without the work of Hernán Tylim  
on KeyBinder, our CS598 classmates, or our professor Ralph Johnson.

Hi!

I just gave a try to Algernon and look really USEFUL! I suspect will be using it a lot.

Thaks by the work!

Cheers.

Hi.

This looks great. One thing I note though: ctrl-space is going to clash with eCompletion (another very useful tool, already present in the dev images), had anybody thought of that?

Cheers,
Simon

It's great, thanks!

[Esteban Lorenzano]

This is great! many thanks...
it is possible to have this as an universe package? It would be easier
for newbies...

Hello Erik and Joey,

this is really nice and definitely a handy tool!

Cheers,
Claus

Esteban,
        Thanks you! If you choose "update package list from the net" it  
should be in there. The link was just a pointer to some more info.

Simon,
        Good point. We ran in to this too, but found other modifiers we had  
been using, such as option-space, didn't work on all host operating  
systems. There is a method, "activationString", which you can easily  
customize, but we're open to a better default if anyone can suggest one.

Extremely useful utility! Thank you. One suggestion, an option to
cache state between invocations to save re-drilling down into
categories?

Hi again
I added some extensions to Algernon, in order to make it work with
OmniBrowser... I created a monticello package named OB-Algernon, can I
send it to you for upload it into the repository?

Maybe is present in 3.9 universe and not in 3.10? I can't see it there.

Sure, go ahead.

The official OmniBrowser is not on SqueakSource though and to me it looks open.

Done, you can find OB-Algeron package in OB repository :)

Stephane,
        Yes. The URL is:
http://www.squeaksource.com/Algernon.html

I've gone ahead and made it global read/write for anyone that would  
like to make any changes.

eCompletion can be triggered by TAB too.
