> I enhanced Glamour with a first version of a Watcher browser
that offers a behavior similar to Quick Preview on Mac.
In general I like it - however for those of us not familiar with the Mac Quick Preview,
can you describe some use-cases?
For example, when in a FAMIX-related browser offer the source code of entities as a quick
preview. In the example I showed in the original post, you could spawn the watcher and
then continue using the arrows to navigate through the list of methods.
Some possible enhancements...
1. Having a visible tip somewhere describing the shortcut <SHIFT-ALT-SPACE> to
close it. Perhaps via a window menu.
2. I'm not sure I like that it always pops up relative to the
last window I was in and always at the same size. Since the Watcher stays-on-top, it
blocks out whatever context I was just involved in. Once I have resized and moved it to a
convenient screen location, I would expect it to be in the same location each time it
appears.
It does appear in the last location you put into and with the size you last set it. Did
you try the latest version?
3. You might statically store the last ten contents and a shortcut
can flip back and forth through them. This value might be settable via the window menu.
