Im wondering if 'Denim' (http://guir.berkeley.edu/projects/denim/) would qualify to be a tool. Im biased towards the web, and to a slighter extent GUI'd software here. Recall using this tool 3-4 years back experimentally, as i was just executing plain vanilla HTML work straight off a skeletal design provided as a template. Was quite impressed, as until then tools to get the ok from the client included Visio, quick-and-dirty HTML screens, the inevitable linked PPT etc. On a different note, and wrt my skills i think there are just too many 'accesskeys' in there or at least the keys may just need some change. Being more of an interface designer, whenever i come across interesting and different sites i tend to to an +V and then C to get to the source to sniff under the hood (if its a blog, whats the blog software of choice, if its not even better, whats the DTD doing, whats the JS library of choice if any and some other mundane stuff) . I got a form submit! I guess the usual IE behaviour of expecting an additional (or just redirecting and focussing on the object) came to a null because it was an explicit Submit button and had to be executed. very interesting – was doing a some research on Interaction Design in general and stumbled on here.
