Right, record, list, probe, top are on the UI (not just T-UI, see latest efforts on decoupling from newt/slang) hit-list :) Moving from one to the other seamlessly like today is possible for report and annotate is the goal. Now that the UI browser code is more robust and generic that should happen faster, I think. - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
