Doru,
One of the things/aspects that I miss a bit is the 'objects' part. In your overall
description/presentation you talk about 'objects', but right now I would say it
are mainly 'code objects' like classes & methods and friends, and some IDE
artefacts, like menus.
What about arbitrary (user) objects ?
Literal constants, like 123, 'some string' ?
Globals like the Transcript ?
Singletons accessible by class side accessors, like announcers ?
An evaluation functionality, just type an expression ?
Examples ?
The clipboard (contents), open windows, processes, ...
Anyway, I am sure you get the idea ;-)

Hi Sven,
Thanks for the kind words. Indeed, having the current selection is one of the things we
should keep in mind. For that we need to go to the next step and integrate the interface
in the overall environment. This will certainly come.
Cheers,
Doru

Alex Syrel, Andrei Chis and I are happy to announce a new addition to the Glamorous
Toolkit:
GTSpotter, a novel interface for spotting objects.
Excellent work, all around. Congratulations to the team. Thank you for pushing things
like this, for thinking differently.
Yes, I want this in Pharo 4 too, ASAP (especially since the main shortcut is different
from the old one, cmd+Enter vs. shift+Enter).
The presentation is again very well done too: excellent article, super movie. You are
putting the bar very high for the rest of us ;-)
A suggestion/idea: would it be possible to take the current selection anywhere and feed
it into Spotter ? That way there would be very good way to make it replace all the other
shortcuts: you would get implementers, senders, references almost for free.
