Hi Hernán,

Thanks for the feedback. Just a question: Was there anything you do like? :)

The rest of the reply is inline.

That is because it is still a work in progress.

This was reported. The menu is missing on purpose. I still have a hard time
understanding why a developer needs those menu entries, but we will add
them back. Btw, the shortcuts do work.

The usage depends on the scenario in which you are. In most cases, when you
do want to drill through many objects, you are likely to only use the
playground as an entry point. When you build a more elaborate piece of code
in the playground, you typically do not need to drill too much. In any
case, if you want to scroll back, there are also keybindings that allow you
to navigate: Cmd+Alt+Left/Right.

This is a feature that is already planned.

What do you mean? Can you elaborate on that? Print it should behave like
here:

The debugger is not in the Pharo image, so I think you are trying the Moose
image. Is that so?
In any case, the positioning of the icons will be the same everywhere in GT
(to the right of the scope they relate to). We are still fiddling with the
right balance in the debugger.

Cheers,
Doru
