In GeeMailMorph you can insert a morph in the text (grab and drop) so if this morph is a button
labelled as your keywords, I think it will work (you'll have to test it). By the way,
when you say keywords are you talking as a librarian or a smalltalker ?

Yes, if you click on a ProjectView and staypressed you'll see a menu 'Enter active' try it.
My goal is to have the textbox centered in the

These were just few ideas.
