Hi, Yes, we will still evolve the UI. At the very least you will get the shortkeys directly on the actions. The answer to your question is in the blog post: GTSpotter offers an extra action: diving in a category. Pressing Cmd+Shift+ArrowRight dives in the collection object containing only the items from that category. Thus, we can continue refining the search inside the category. So, you will open the collection of that sub-category and you will see more items at once (not just 5). Is it clearer now?

Hola,
Andrei demoed it to me on friday and it is *extremely* cool. I can’t wait to start using it for my next development session.
I have one request though (as I already mentioned to Andrei). Since you are using a significant part of the screen, it would not be costly to (e.g. at the bottom) put a small legend of the non-obvious keystroke combinations. It would greatly increase discoverability of the features of the tool.
Considering the blog post, the legend would be ( I don’t understand the difference between the last 2): Cmd+Shift+ArrowUp/ArrowDown = Next/Prev category, Cmd+RightArrow = Dive into, Cmd+Shift+RightArrow = ???

Hi,
Alex Syrel, Andrei Chis and I are happy to announce a new addition to the Glamorous Toolkit: GTSpotter, a novel interface for spotting objects.
GTSpotter has two goals: - Provide a uniform yet moldable interface that can work on any object, and - Handle searching through arbitrary levels of object nesting.
We think this will have a significant impact on the development workflow in Pharo.
Here is a couple of screenshots: <gtspotter-packages-classes.png> <gtspotter-dive-class-method-sender.png> <gtspotter-playground.png>
A trailer is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhSmjR3NOlU
A detailed description is available here: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/introducing-gtspotter
It works already in Pharo 3.0 and can be played with by following the instructions from: http://gt.moosetechnology.org
Please let us know what you think.
Enjoy, The Glamorous Team
