Comment #5 on issue 1042 by tony.fleig: documentation/help menu
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1042
Ok. I will take the list below and for each shortcut determine whether it
is working in Pharo 1.1.1 in Windows 7, OSX Snow Leopard, and Ubuntu Linux
9.10. I then post the results as a comment to this issue. I will attempt to
do this by close of business tomorrow Pacific Time.
FWIW, IMHO a list of maybe-working shortcuts with a warning that not all
may be working is very much better than no list at all. (I speak from
recent experience.) If we wait for perfection in all things we will never
achieve anything.
Here is the list I will work from. (I do not know what "Recognizer" refers
to. The shortcut does nothing in my Ubuntu 9.10 Pharo 1.1 environment.
Maybe you can help me there?)
I have casually tested most of them in Pharo 1.1 Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and the
majority seem to be fully functional.
Lower-case command keys
(use with Cmd key on Mac and Alt key on other platforms)
a Select all
b Browse it (selection is a class name or cursor is over a class-list or
message-list)
c Copy selection
d Do it (selection is a valid expression)
e Exchange selection with prior selection
f Find
g Find again
h Set selection as search string for find again
i Inspect it (selection is a valid expression, or selection is over an
inspect-ilst)
j Again once (do the last text-related operation again)
k Set font
l Cancel
m Implementors of it (selection is a message selector or cursor is over a
class-list or message-list)
n Senders of it (selection is a message selector or cursor is over a
class-list or message-list)
o Spawn current method
p Print it (selection is a valid expression)
q Query symbol (toggle all possible completion for a given prefix)
r Recognizer

t Finds a Transcript (when cursor is over the desktop)
u Toggle alignment
v Paste
w Delete preceding word (over text); Close-window (over morphic desktop)
x Cut selection

Note: for Do it, Senders of it, etc., a null selection will be expanded to a
word or to the current line in an attempt to do what you want. Also note
that Senders/Implementors of it will find the outermost keyword selector in
a large selection, as when you have selected a bracketed expression or an
entire line. Finally note that the same cmd-m and cmd-n (and cmd-v for
versions) work in the message pane of most browsers.

or Shift-Alt on other platforms; sometimes Ctrl works too)
