Hi everyone.
I have no idea what the status is on the editor in pharo and if there are any
plans to do something to / with it. If there's some resource, could you point
me to it?
In the meantime I thought I'd share my impressions with you; doesn't hurt at
least.
Since I started developing in Pharo I've struggled with the editor, in
particular with the fact that I need to use the mouse a lot to position the
cursor which, as all of you know, makes development quite a bit slower.
Before I came to Pharo I used to develop in Eclipse and Eclipse supports all
shortcuts used inside OS X (and if not you can change the shortcut settings).
My favorite shortcuts:
cmd + -> : go to end of line
cmd + <- : go to beginning of line
alt + -> : go to end of the current word
alt + -> : go to beginning of current word
alt + arrow up : switch the line above with the current line (current line has
line number -1, line above has line number +1)
alt + arrow down : switch the line below with the current line
cmd + l : delete line (I know this shortcut is used to cancel changes at the
moment. Still, I haven't found a shortcut yet that deletes a single line)
I'd LOVE to see this in Pharo, or at least be able to configure the shortcuts
myself. I think, being able to change the shortcuts is important anyway because
each developer has an own style.
I'd try to come up with a solution myself but I just don't have the time at the
moment.
Thanks for listening to my yapping :)
Max
