See,
this is why I love Smalltalk....
Tell me a different environment where you can actually have such discussion.
To make this a little clearer.
Pharo and Squeak are solely open source. So one might say,.... well this
can be done/extended/changed in Eclipse, too.
How about VW and VAST?
Well, you can change the development environment and it's behavior
according to your needs, too.
Want a putton to print something out for development purpose? Just add
it :-D
Try this with Visual Studio and xCode on that level.
Avdi if you think the things you have seen so far are cool?! Well, that
is just the beginning and you actually can make your environment easily
even cooler,... once you have taken the first hurdles.
With GlamourToolKit, Pharo community is even bringing this to a more
abstract level and I love playing with it.
I wish I was deeper into Pharo already.
Isn't there somebody who could just hack a small .st file to file-in the
desired behavior that Avdi is looking for?
A temporary hack?
Cheers!

Hi Avdi,
Welcome.
As the others mentioned, this part of Pharo is not at all ideal.
Please bare with us.
Cheers,

Hey folks! I've dabbled with smalltalk here and there over the
years, but recently I've settled in to learn Pharo in earnest. A
few of you might have seen the videos I've been putting up; they
seem to be making the rounds on Twitter. I just want to say I've
felt really welcomed by all the people who have commented with
helpful tips, or offered to help with my exploration :-)
I've run into my first big blocker as a newcomer. Like many
programmers I'm a fan of keeping my hands on the keyboard. Now,
I'm more flexible on this than some. I recognize that Pharo is a
visual environment, and it makes sense to explore it with a mouse.
And some interactions just make more sense with a mouse.
That said, no matter what windowing environment I'm in, I find the
ability to quickly cycle between windows without leaving the
keyboard pretty crucial. One Windows or Ubuntu I would normally do
this with Alt-Tab or Super-Tab. On MacOS it's Cmd-Tab.
I've been trying to figure out how to do this in Pharo. I've
looked for answers with Google, SO, and on IRC, and I've come up
blank. I'm starting to think it can't be done.
So, I've come here for your help. Is there a way to cycle between
windows? Or is anyone working on it? Or, perhaps, am I missing an
element of the Pharo programming workflow which renders it unneeded?
Many thanks,
