[Pharo-project] Slime with Nautilus?
by blake April 24, 2012

April 24, 2012

Yo, I'm trying to run Slime (per the Seaside book) but I don't see "refactoring scope" in my menu options. I'm guessing "Browse restricted" serves the same purpose. But with (or without) that open, I don't have a "code critics" in my browser submenu. I'm not really sure I even have Slime installed. I do have the following classes installed: GRSlimeBlockLintRule GRSlimeParseTreeLintRule GRSlimeTest GRSlimeTransformationRule WASlime WASlimeTest ===Blake===

[Pharo-project] Do we get rid of the KeyDecodeTable in InputEventSensor?
by Guillermo Polito April 24, 2012

April 24, 2012

It's supposed to do some conversions, but sometimes, it just screws up the use input. It's main responsibility is to change *ctrl* into *alt*: installDuplicateKeyEntryFor: c | key | key := c asInteger. "first do control->alt key" KeyDecodeTable at: { key bitAnd: 16r9F . 2 } put: { key . 8 }. "then alt->alt key" KeyDecodeTable at: { key . 8 } put: { key . 8 } And then it confuses stuff. For example, Ctrl + tab is decoded as ctrl + $i, since $i asInteger bitAnd: 16r9F = Character tab asInteger And btw, I love my ctrl key and want to have more fancy and sexy shortcuts, so this F*** table is bothering :). Opinions? Guille

[Pharo-project] Suggestion: introducing a fixme/issue/todo pragma
by phil＠highoctane.be April 24, 2012

April 24, 2012

While looking around in the image, I am in need of knowing where I found thngs that either puzzle me or are "wrong" (well, a code smell). What I do is that I put pragmas in there like this (not that this sample is meant to be representative) privCleanTextConstants <fixme> TextConstants TextSharedInformation removeKey: #DefaultTextStyle. TextConstants TextSharedInformation removeKey: #DefaultMultiStyle. TextConstants TextSharedInformation removeKey: #DefaultFixedTextStyle. TextConstants TextSharedInformation removeKey: StrikeFont defaultFontKey. Smalltalk allClasses select: [:c | c sharedPools includes: TextConstants] thenDo: [:c | c compileAll ]. And I can then find back the things with: pc := (PragmaCollector filter: [:prg | prg keyword = 'fixme']) reset. pc collected size. "(Print It: 1)" pc collected explore. And then finding back the Class and Method Name Building upon that, why not do what is done in other environments (well, I've got that in PHP, Java, ...) and use: <todo:do this and that> or plain <todo> <fixme: this and that> or plain <fixme> <issue:issue#> And have a specific tool to help the navigation (explore is fine for a moment but...) This would allow us to have an idea on the technical debt inside the system, broken down by areas if we start leveraging Packages. What I do not know is how much stress this would put on the system. Are pragmas eating a lot or a just markers? Phil

[Pharo-project] refactoring
by blake April 24, 2012

April 24, 2012

OK, I've got a clean Pharo 1.4 (plus seaside) and need to refactor some code. I haven't changed the defaults. It looks like there are settings for refactoring, but I don't see how to actually invoke anything. I'm used to seeing the options in the context menu. ===Blake===

[Pharo-project] How to disable development tools on Pharo 1.3
by Noury Bouraqadi April 24, 2012

April 24, 2012

I remember having seen some time in the past a menu that allows to shrink the image and disable the world menu. But, I can't retrieve any thing related. I don't care about the menu per se. I'd be happy with a message to send to some object that does the job.
