Hi,
Is there a TabbedBrowser out there somewhere? By that I mean a SystemBrowser with tabs. I love tabbed browsing in the web browser world (eg. Firefox) and would really like the functionality for coding in Squeak.
Squeaking with my 19" monitor is fine, I can open a ton of standard SystemBrowsers, but on my laptop with its 12" screen, my real estate is diminished; hence the desire for tabs.
If one doesn't exist anywhere, any suggestions as to how I would go about writing one myself? I looked around inside SystemBrowser and OBSystemBrowser and promptly got a headache. Being a beginner, it was all too much for me.
I tried going about it by putting SystemWindows inside of a TabbedPalette, but that didn't turn out so well.
Any suggestions (even just "give up") would be appreciated.
Thanks!

don't think so.

What I use (even my 21" can't hold enough Browsers), is the TracingMessagesBrowser by Chris Muller. It gives you an indented view of the control-flow with just one code-pane and a list of methods above. Much better than Browsers if you have an algorithm with responsibilities distributed among classes.
You follow the control flow across classes via senders and implementors.
See a Screenshot in my post of 4. May here, regarding Squeak and the keyboard.
It requires MA base additions and MA exception handling, all on SqueakMap.

Sorry I can't help with that.
Cheers

I would loved to have that. If someone wants to have a look at the BugFixeArchiveBrowser which had tabs....

The old Browser is a real pain. We hope to get rid of it once. OB is a bit complex but the way to go. We are trying to document it by writing a paper now.
Any suggestions (even just "give up") would be appreciated.
Thanks!
