Categories on the fly

Is there a way to add a sub-category to an existing parent category in the add categories box of the write post page?

No, though you can always add it while you’re writing the post then go to Manage >> Categories and make the new category a child later.

Ok, thanks. I was hoping maybe typing something like
parent: subcategory
or parent/subcategory
or some such would do it. Perhaps in the next version. But it’s still a great improvement, and as you said, I can always go back and make it a child category later.
