The SLIME REPL (from an Emacs lisp interaction mode) uses these to solve exactly the problem of naming multiple objects. If you haven't seen it before, have a look at http://common-lisp.net/project/movies/movies/slime.mov and jump to 8:25 or so. For multiple objects, have you considered using "output presentations"?

Any way the sub menu can be aligned a little higher? Might be useful to have a tri-state box for Select All to allow instant set all, clear all or select some.

Any way the sub menu can be aligned a little higher?

The sub menu doesn't allow checking/unchecking just "mousemove" events. See the screenshot, there is only "mouse" item (event family with all mouse related events).

Of course the menu stays open while selecting the different event types.

That would require more clicks than the solution we have now. We generally try to avoid dialogs in favor of inline UIs.

Vicario Fri, 03 May 2013 19:23:49 +0000 http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/?p=686#comment-38542 I haven't had the chance of testing the alpha but I hope that you don't need to open the submenu 5 times if you want to select 5 event types. To be honest, I'm not specially fond of submenus as a GUI to choose items. Perhaps there could a link/icon somewhere that opens a good old dialogue with some good old checkboxes (and possibly an all/none one on top). There could be a visual clue somewhere to know whether a filter is applied. (Sorry for so many "somewhere", I know the key are the details.) Whatever, even the submenu is a very welcome redesign. You're doing a great work. I haven't had the chance of testing the alpha but I hope that you don't need to open the submenu 5 times if you want to select 5 event types.
