Hi Tween
First I would like to thank you for Shout because this is really good.
I think that a lot of squeak teachers will really like it. I'm
planning to use that for my books. I will evaluate it carefully and how
I can customize it for my needs.
I have two questions.
Question 1.
When I type a variable that is not defined is red until I fall on one
that is defined. So the message shout send me is that I'm basically all
the time typing wrong. Have you thought of doing the following?
Imagine the code:
| aVar|
aVa
if my cursor is after aVa then the variable is not red but blue, then
if I press space then it gets red,
and if I type aVar is does not get red.
Question 2.
When I type a method name it would be great to get it red if it is not
implemented in the system.
(we could refine that if we know that this is self and super and
looking also in the superclass but this can be tricky).
Are you planning to add this feature?
