Suggestion for 2.0
I have a suggestion that shouldn't be too difficult to add for 2.0.
I can see the merit in trying to emulate the MacOS as closely as
possible, since you want to make a comfortable environment for those
already familiar with the MacOS-- But how about going a little beyond
that and adding some things that WONT appear different but add
functionality--- For example:
* Why not add simple key bindings so you can do simple tasks if your
mouse breaks? I've had trouble on real Macs before, where once the mouse
is dead, your machine is as good as dead! --How about something to
scroll through the different widgets ("TAB" would be a good one)... At
least let me switch the highlighted buttons on dialogs.
* (Perhaps this suggestion is ahead of its time, but perhaps for
version 3.0????) Virtual desktops! When running multiple programs at
the same time becomes possible, would it also be possible to have virtual
desktops? (ALA Fvwm)
---I know that your browser is starting to act a little more innovative
that the MacOS browser, and I think that is wonderful! (Maybe soon you
can actually sell a clone OS that can be installed on the Macintoshes!)
I especially like your plans to add drop in font management <--now that
I think of it, Its really stupid that Macintosh hasn't added this into
their OS yet!
Keep up the wonderful work! Anyone else have suggestions or comments on
my suggestions?
