Hello everybody
I found this site via the referrers in google analytics. First of all I appriciate everything that I've read here - the good as the bad things.
There is no actual documentation. To be actually able to use Proto, you'll have to watch the author's screencasts. I hope there will be a better documentation with a later version, so Proto becomes more attractive for rather lazy users who want to RTFM, not WTFV (watch that fine video).-Tuxman
Well to be honest I thought that video would be more attractive but it turns out to be a weakness not an advantage... Well I'll just have to sit down and write some documentation.
FWIW, as a native English speaker, I find his accent and pronunciation, combined with the audio quality, hard to understand as well. Lots of feedback and very bass-y, too.-skwire
Yeah... I know... I'll try to redo the screencasts but since I don't have any reasonable mic the quality is shitty...
I assumed, whilst i was watching the videos, that Proto could identify every file on the system without having to go through specific paths - it can't (unless i'm mistaken).-nudone
Well if I'm not mistaken you want to search the whole drive for a specific file - for me (no offense) this is just plain stupid. I believe in herarchical order of things so that I know that in my folder Projects I'm searching for a specific project and not a mp3 file or an email. That's just my mindset and I don't want to convince anybody that my approch is the right one.
No way could I use them for a file manager, no matter how efficient they might be in the right hands.-mrainey
Well I'm trying to do assign them "the most expectable way" - eg: ctrl+t (opens new tab), ctrl+w (closes tab), ctrl+c (copies path), ctrl+shift+c (copies filename), etc. and you can always lookup what you are searching via F1 - there is a searchable list of shortcuts.
cheers
