New issue 3996 by [email protected]: alt+k opens a StringHolder and not a workspace
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3996

alt+k shortcut is defined in PasteUpMorph>>defaultDesktopCommandKeyTriplets

{ $k. StringHolder. #open. 'Open a new, blank Workspace'}.

Then, alt+k opens a StringHolder and not a plain Workspace. This prevents the user from accessing all features of workspaces (syntax highlighting, old content management, line ending handling...).

It would be better to open a workspace. The correct way to do that is probably to ask the default ToolSet: ToolSet default openWorkspace

However, the syntax of the table in #defaultDesktopCommandKeyTriplets prevents sending 2 messages to ToolSet. Doing

{ $k. ToolSet default. #openWorkspace. 'Open a new, blank Workspace'}.

is fragile because it fixes the toolset upon initialization of the World. I propose to add #openWorkspace to the ToolSet class (along with a lot of other useful utilities) which would look like:

ToolSet class>>openWorkspace
  ^ self default openWorkspace

and then update #defaultDesktopCommandKeyTriplets:


{ $k. ToolSet. #openWorkspace. 'Open a new, blank Workspace'}.
