As originally Smalltalkanist
; I took several programming habits (is it a good thing?) like class or method category views of the code. I would propose some enhancements for Textpad which is a very good programming tool indeed.1) it could be to have in the document selector view the ability to import not only files but also directories and conséquently to ba able to have an explorer view of the workspace. It could be very convenient when we desire manage a certain amount of files to be able to categorize them correctely. It is improving the complexity management
2) Another improvement possibility could be to have a new view in the tool which could give us an abstract view of the file, ie imagine you have a file with several "Ada procedures" in it. With a kind of regular expression capability it could'nt be very difficult to extract these "procedure" information and to put them in the new "abstract" view of the file. By this means, we could directly access the portion of the file by selecting the abstract item in the abstract view. (Is it clear?)
