You can see a full categorized SM tree using the window menu. ("add 
SqueakMap packages"). This supports drag'n'drop within and between 
StarBrowsers. Could add the filtering, but there's probably an easier 
way using a different expression.

Well, there's the problem of multi-selections vs. the "current 
selection" menu. I don't really like the multi-selection list that's 
currently in Squeak, as it has both a single selection that it 
inherits from PluggableListMorph and multiple selections. These are 
maintained separately, so it's possible to have an item selected that 
isn't in the selections if you aren't careful (though this is 
probably impossible by hand). The user interface is a more than a bit 
confusing.

However, I suppose if I used the existing support the menu could 
relate to the "current selection" (i.e. the last thing clicked on).

The SubWindow would let me subdivide the editor area (that is, I could 
add more SubWindows to the right side).
