Yeah, that fix is not in the current release (BFAV 1.27). But I will have Ned's fixes included in the next BFAV release, which will go out this week.

RE: How to use the BFAV?

Yeah, good idea. It should also be available in a help window. > -----Original Message----- > From: Marcus Denker [mailto:marcus@ira.uka.de] > Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 3:34 AM > To: The general-purpose Squeak developers list > Subject: Re: How to use the BFAV? > > > On Sun, Nov 02, 2003 at 05:46:35PM -0500, Brent Vukmer wrote: > > Tom - > > > > Please do add a "Using the BFAV" section!

duplicateControlAndAltKeys not working on WinXP
by Pravin A. Sable 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

------------------------------ Hello Lex and all, Thanks for reply. I am working on Win XP Professional, Squeak 3.6 Full. For me even after setting duplicateControlAndAltKeys, Ctrl+P, Ctrl+D don't work. I think all Alt Keys short cut should work with Ctrl. but Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+Z are working perfectly fine. Also, Home and End keys for navigation with Ctrl is not working the same way they work for Alt. Like Alt+end goes to end of file but Ctrl+end doesn't. Ctrl+home goes to first like but selects text(don't know why, this should only happen if shift is pressed). I think this functionality is either has bugs or nobody bother to give it. but for someone who is coming from Windows editiors it's bit of pain, to move to alt keys from ctrl. Hope someone will fix these bugs for Squeak 3.6 (Full) on Windows XP. Thanks in Advance. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original message by Lex: Do you mean the dupAllKeys changeset? If so, then it's a design decision. Squeak cannot tell the difference between ctrl-C and ctrl-enter, and I decided that ctrl-C ("copy") is much more important. To allow both key sequences requires changes to all the VM's. I don't know what you mean about ctrl-p and ctrl-d. They work for me. What OS are you using? I'm on Linux. I should mention that I'm using Squeak 3.6, in case that matters. -Lex Message: 28 Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 17:49:26 -0400 From: "Lex Spoon" <lex(a)cc.gatech.edu> Subject: Re: duplicateControlAndAltKeys To: The general-purpose Squeak developers list <squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> Message-ID: <E1AFLtz-0005gY-03(a)logrus.dnsalias.net> "Pravin A.

Re: Harvesting Process is not working
by Adam Spitz 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

There's probably a lesson to be learned here from the Extreme Programming guys, about aligning authority and responsibility. It's frustrating for me to feel like I have the responsibility to review a changeset when I don't have the authority to put that changeset into the image myself. And I *do* feel like I have that responsibility, because I felt guilty just now when Marcus asked us how we can possibly expect the harvesting process to work if we submit changesets but don't help with the reviewing. I think that the answer to his question, though, is that the way it *should* work is that when someone submits a changeset affecting the Wobulator package, the owners (stewards?) of the Wobulator package should be the ones responsible for reviewing it - because those are the people who have the authority to get it into the official Wobulator distribution. I haven't reviewed any non-Celeste-related changesets in a long time, but I try to catch all the Celeste-related ones. This is why I've been doing the package-removal work, but there's no reason why we can't do this for code that's still in the image (as long as the guides/harvesters/whoever are willing to let a package's steward mark changesets related to that package as [APPROVED]). Isn't that why we were looking for stewards? http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3088 Adam ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

[ENH] TextLinkByKbd (v2)
by Daniel Vainsencher 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

from preamble: "Change Set: TextLinkByKbd Date: 28 July 2003 Author: Daniel Vainsencher Small changes I need for Garden to be able to bind keys to follow Text links. ParagraphEditor method activates the Text links at the cursor position - until now there was a hook only if it came through a mouse event. PTM change allows instance specific PTM keybindings. I find it astonishing we didn't have this before. Trivial, clean implementation suggested by Ned."!

[FIX] BrowserInstanceCreation
by schwa＠cc.gatech.edu 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

from preamble: "Change Set: BrowserInstanceCreation Date: 29 October 2003 Author: Joshua Gargus Most of the methods in the 'instance creation' category of Browser did not answer instances of the class. Instead, they answered the class itself. This changeset fixes all of these methods so that they answer the newly created Browser. This new version avoids stomping on a change from Lex's 'sandboxCategory' changeset. "!

Newbie investigating refactoring browser / conceptual typing question.
by G.J.Murphy 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Dear Squeak Group, I've downloaded a brand new image for Squeak 3.6, updated the Package Loader, installed MCInstaller and then installed the latest version of the Refactoring Browser off the SqueakMap. If I open a system / refactoring browser, select a method and select some arbitrary text in the lower pane, doing a yellow button click results in an unimplemented message (withSqueakLineEndings) being sent to an instance of Text that corresponds to the contents of the lower pane. I've tried two fixes for this, the first was rather nasty and involved converting the text to a String instance within RefactoringBrowser>>findNode. I'm not at all convinced that this is correct in that I get the impression that most of the codebase *is* expecting to deal with both Text and String instances via the ArrayedCollection interface, rather than funneling both into String instances via optional conversion. The second was to implement Text>>withSqueakLineEndings so that it delegates to the aggregated String. This seems healthier, but it does mean that Text and String don't have a common interface that defines the ability to receive withSqueakLineEndings messages - you can tell I come from a strongly typed OO background! I could hoist withSqueakLineEndings up into ArrayedCollection to workaround not having multiple interface inheritance, but that feels very wrong indeed - I'd rather take the view that the system is completely untyped and have two disjoint interfaces that happen to understand the same message, rather then trying to emulate a strongly typed design. Before going any further, is this is genuine bug, or did I simply not install the packages correctly? If it is a genuine bug, would anybody care to comment on the fix? I ask this as person who has resumed doing Smalltalk after a thirteen year stretch of doing hard C++ with a bit of solitary confinement in CAML. ;-) I didn't manage to do much with Smalltalk last time round so take it as read that I'm a novice. Any advice would be welcome, even if it's just to say: "Learn how to install the packages correctly.". FYI, I ran the system SUnit tests before and after the fix:- BEFORE: 351 run, 230 passed, 4 failed, 117 errors. AFTER: 351 run, 278 passed, 5 failed, 68 errors. I've enclosed the change set with this message. Regards, Gerard

How to use the BFAV?
by Tom Koenig 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

I recently installed the BFAV and am trying to figure out how to use it. I didn't find a sample message send, so I tried: BugFixArchiveViewer new openInWorld This opened up an empty BFAV window. The menu allowed me to update my local archive. However, I can not actually see or do anything with the bugs/fixes. What should I be doing ? Thanks Tom (using 3.6 on win xp pro)
