[_]— i want to make a multi Window Debugger which really reduces the need
to
mouse or click or fiddle diddle faddle stepping . Smalltalk stepping used
to be my
favorite hobby . <Alt>+<Tab> navigation or something keyboard only Vim
where it
 remembers the clicks you clicked to Inspect a couple 3 things and plays
them
back apon any revisiting => reopening and puts the desired printOn:s into a
popUp clustering which disappears or reappears apon leaving returning each
click setup inspection selecting -> showing its printOn: just by keeping
hitting the
 <Spacebar> . maybe the separate Windows take it in turns to coming
forwards
apon <Spacebar> . mostly you just keep hitting <Spacebar> or <F10> <F11>
something . And the source code selection always always scrolls into dead
center
 of the pain oh the pane centered top to bottom of the monitor screen
without me
 fiddling with these tiny Steve Jobs scroll bars which never should have
replaced
the Adele et all ST-80 scroll flaps and that old GUI is coming back it’s
just called
WUP or WUPS or WPU or UPWoo or something which has hiding scroll bars byut
they’re ((->tiny<-)) pfff so it takes some stressing to home in on the
minute buggers . give me the old interface back again but with rich text .
fancy fonts etc . oh yeah o y worse is better worse is better worse is
definitely better and the GUI
should look like things we are familiar with so our heads don’t explode
speaking
no ill of the dead but he couldn’t have been more wrong no like desk
drawers and
table tops and 3D rollodecks magic cap . but the 80 GUI never did any of
that
because why because why because it was 39 years before it’s time that’s why
Adele whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hooooo
