No, We use only vi,mcedit and gdb ;)

I try to create separate Transport object. I try to explain my idea.

New infrastucture:
1. Low level and static Ncurses widget with low level static Ncurses::Transport object.
This Tranport object hides ncurses style mouse and keyboard processing.
2. High level NDK objects as a composition of static NCurses widgets with dynamic NDK::Tranport.

NDK::Tranport will create child<->father tree and made general message passing
with focus switching between widgets.

All widgets will add their special event support (e.g. Button class add
support of color changing on activation and emitting "clicked" event)

If we want to add some special event processing in our widget we only need to redefine
appropriate virtual method of the class.

Yes, you are right.

There are no boost in new classes yet. We are planning to use only
templates from boost if necessary.
