Subject: minibuffer vs dialog-boxes
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 07:54:18 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200204181154.g3IBsIL01245@rum.cs.yale.edu> (raw)
In order to bring the user's attention to the minibuffer when an item
such as "Edit -> Search" is activated from the menu, I was just thinking
that we could draw a big rectangle around the minibuffer, blinking
(or zooming in-and-out) until some input is typed in.
This way we don't need to implement dialog boxes for such text entry
(where the use of a dialog box is not nearly as important since
the keyboard has to be used anyway).
Stefan
