Is that also true of the address field in a web browser window? What is
your menu item equivalent for that?
File/Open Location. It behaves exactly as I described, opening up a
dialog box.
I know that most web browsers have some sort of panel to use as a
complement but who uses that?
In my browser of choice, OmniWeb, the "open location" dialog is not a
complement, it's the main interface. It has an option, unavailable in
the toolbar, for opening the given location either in the browser, in an
editor window, or for adding it to the bookmarks. The toolbar behaves as
I've been suggesting it should - it provides a convenient shortcut to
the most commonly-used function, opening a URL in the current browser
window.
Do you think that you shouldn't be allowed to use the arrow keys to
navigate the history menu of that NSComboBox?
Yet again, using OmniWeb as an example, the toolbar is providing a more
convenient, simplified interface to the complete functionality provided
in the history drawer.
I should thank you - you've provided me with some wonderful examples to
help illustrate my point.
