[Pharo-project] Pharo Online Help new features

by Torsten Bergmann

I added some more features: 1. An help server control panel allowing you to start/stop the local help server and change port If you are on Windows and have NativeBoost 1.7 loaded you can also open the webbrowser right from the image (we need this URL opening for other platforms too!!!) 2. Added links to Pharo association, Download page, common Smalltalk sites like planet.smalltalk.org and world.st 3. Simple API browsing (comments and method comments) to browse classes and method docu in the webbrowser (see attached screenshot) You can load it in Pharo 2.0 directly using World menu: Tools -> ConfigurationBrowser -> PharoOnlineHelp and select "Install configuration (stable version)" from the context menu Anyone having a simple Markdown -> HTML converter (without much petit parsing whatever) Thanks T.

[Pharo-project] Vim Keys?

by âking

Hi all. I'm extremely new to Smalltalk, but I was wondering if there was a way to make Pharo have vi-keys (or even better, vim-keys)? Thanks! ââ
