In Pharo 2.0 Nautilus have a better integration of test and of shortcuts.

Because of a lack of time (or of people) Nautilus is not maintained in 1.4, 
since the focus is 2.0 since a while.

About the combination with AutoTest, it's really possible (and could be really 
cool) to implement a AutoTest plugin for Nautilus (the whole plugin mechanism 
has been designed for AutoTest actually ^^)


Can you try in 2.0 and give some feedback ? :)

Thanks in advance,
Ben
