At my working PC I do have a keyboard.<br>
But I often add extension categories, which has the following
workflow:Select a method category (with a left click).
<ol>
<li>Right click for the pop-up menu.</li>
<li>Left click on the extension category menu item</li>
<li>Left click on the appropriate menu item.<br>
</li>
<li>Now a StringRequestMorph appears and I have to switch to the
keyboard.</li>
</ol>
Given that the remaining work is just drag and drop,<br>
this need to press Enter on the keyboard became more and more
annoying.<br>
<br>
I never tried Cuis/Haver on my wife's surface book in tablet mode,<br>
but I suppose I would have to activate the on-screen-keyboard<br>
just to press Enter.<br>
<br>
I hope this is reason enough for this this change.<br>
<br>
Concerning the StringRequestMorph as such:<br>
I would love to add a super-class called TextRequestMorph,<br>
which will be used to enter help texts.<br>
With the existing implementation you can format<br>
the text entered. The formatting will be thrown away,<br>
when the entered text is answered, which is a pity.<br>
<br>
There are other issues:<br>
If you never close the request morph, it will exist for ever,<br>
even if the browser that created it, is gone.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>

Or perhaps we should replace the StringRequestMorph with something entirely
different if the computer doesn’t have a keyboard? I never thought someone
would use it without a keyboard, how do you input characters in it without
a keyboard?
Cheers,

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi all, Hi Juan,
The current implementation of the StringRequestMorph
is hard to use with a mouse or a touch-pad,
because you need a keyboard to accept or
discard the input.
Therefore I added two tiny buttons to
accept or cancel the input.
I hope you like it.
HTH and Best Regards,
Gerald
