Subject: Re: [ANN] foxGUIb - Interactive Fox GUI Builder and Code Generator

When I wrote my own GUI builder for FXRuby, I just used 4 keys to
'drag-and-drop'.

Left-Arrow => Reparent as next sibling under old parent.
Right-Arrow => Reparent as last sibling under old previous sibling.
Down-Arrow => Move to after next sibling. If last child then don't change.
Up-Arrow => Move to before previous sibling. If first child then don't change.

Coded it up in a few minutes, works like a charm, and IMO it's easier
when dealing with a tree structure.

I also used WASD for the tree navigation when I didn't want to select
a different node.

... I really need to rewrite it for Debian now that I'm off Win2k...
sigh... not enough time.

Probably going to wait to rewrite it for the
next-great-gui-kit-framework-thingie.
