I like flaps. :-) But I don't use them.

Best,
Marcel

I use flaps! Specifically, in my experimentation with
squeak-on-a-cellphone, I put the on screen keyboard in a flap, and open
the flap automatically whenever keyboard focus switches to something
non-nil:

newKeyboardFocus: aMorphOrNil
aMorphOrNil
ifNil: [OnScreenKeyboardMorph hideFlap]
ifNotNil: [(OnScreenKeyboardMorph future: 200) raiseFlap].
^ super newKeyboardFocus: aMorphOrNil.

It works surprisingly well for this. Being able to adjust the height of
the keyboard by moving the flap, etc.

Cheers,
Tony
