[Pharo-project] Written down current Keyboard Event Model

by Guillermo Polito

Maybe this has to be written in the wiki, the book, or something :P. Keyboard interaction raises 3 events: - Keydown When a key is pressed, it informs the same as a keystroke. *Nobody uses it :/.* Also, between platforms, the keydown events are different Â¬Â¬. Even more!! These events are not taken into account by morphic EventHandler :D. Just try: aMorph on: #keyDown send: #value to: [ UIManager inform: 'hello!'] - Keyup When a key is released, it informs the same as a keystroke. *Nobody uses it :/.* Also, between platforms, the keyup events are different Â¬Â¬. Even more!! Those events are not taken into account in morphic EventHandler :D. Just try: aMorph on: #keyUp send: #value to: [ UIManager inform: 'hello!'] - Keypress When a key with a unicode representation is pressed, informs: -modifiers. Hey guess what? If you type ctrl+a character, you'll get cmd+that character. Be careful ;). -keyCode: a value representing the key pressed (not the character equivalent) -keyCharacter: a character representing the key pressed. It may not be a printable character, so, be careful ;). to subscribe a morph to this event just do: Even more!! They are not took into account in morphic EventHandler :D. Just try: aMorph on: #keyStroke send: #value to: [ UIManager inform: 'hello!' ]. Guille, messing with events and stuff, and vms, and bored :P

I agree, the Download section should look different but: the big banner in the top right corner links to the stable one-click image.

[Pharo-project] OneClick on website's first page?

by Janko MivÅ¡ek

Hi guys, For newcommers it would be really good to put a "Stable Pharo OneClick" on the first place of Downloads section on first page at http://www.pharo-project.org. This is important also for all us to use and test it really quich, without dealing with proper VM installation.

Re: [Pharo-project] Squeaksource Mirror Q&A

by Udo Schneider

Hi, I took a look at Coral some time ago. For my personal taste it had two drawbacks which made me setup this one. a) The origin server needs to be reachable - if it's not the edge location can't deliver the content unless cached. This could be addressed by using coral not against the original SS server but against Johans mirror. That's the reason why I took the route of mirroring the SS content to a bucket and feeding the edge servers from this mirror. b) Speed. At least here (Munich) Coral CDN is even slower than SS directly. BTW: Simply try this to checkout: MRManager redirectFrom: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/' to: 'http://squeaksource.cdn.st Comments appreciated.
