In the example illustrated, it means that rather searching through an un-alphabetized list in a combo box 10x the screen height, the user scans 2.5 screens of items in alphabetical order.

* Percentage of completion: 95% (patch written, awaiting further design review)

== Detailed Description ==
When lots of activities are installed, the "what" combo box on the Journal toolbar becomes unwieldy. This feature would replace the combo box with a palette (as shown in the figure). (In addition, the current implementation of the combo box sorts the activities by bundle_id, not very useful. The new code would sort by Activity name.)

From the palette, you see more choices w/o needed to scroll. Plus the palette is much easier to use with touch.

A palette is also used for the "when" filter for consistency.

== Benefit to Sugar ==
This feature will help us scale to more activities.

== Scope ==
The intervention is limited to journaltoolbar.py.

== How To Test ==
{{:{{PAGENAME}}/Testing}}

== User Experience ==
The user will see a palette displayed instead of a combo box.

== Dependencies ==
No new dependencies

== Contingency Plan ==
There is no adverse impact if this feature does not land.
