<p>Nice idea! I have been using Traits for only one time in my Squeak life so far, but they surely can be helpful in certain cases.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Would this maybe be rather a job for a good autocompletion?</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I want to create a new Trait, I currently search and type the trait template myself. You know, Trait named: #foo uses: ...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Should there not be a context menu item that fills the browser code pane with the template?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I see there is Browser>>newTrait and Browser>>addSpecialMenu: but the latter has no senders in my Trunk image.</div>

<div>Kind regards</div>
