Hi everybody, as you might remember, I'm teaching Pharo in an introductory class. I'm finding a few rough edges with Pharo and was wondering whether people could help me. I'm using Pharo 1.3 with the CogVM on Mac OS X Lion. One problem I have is with fullScreen mode. First, I could no longer figure out how to go into fullScreen mode from the menus. Is this something that Pharo users don't do? If so, that seems a real shame. I then used the command (Display fullScreen: true). That worked, but, when I'm in fullScreen mode, I can no longer Alt-Tab between applications or workspaces. Is this a CogVM problem? Is it just that that's no longer the accepted way to go into fullScreen mode? In the class I'm doing live coding, basing a lot of stuff on showing something in a Workspace and having students work on problems to print to the Transcript (we are still on very basic for loops and have a while to go before they can use the browser to create classes). I use the Workspace to just list the things that I want to cover on that day. This is a mixture of plain text and code snippets. Kudos on being able to employ native fonts. I was able to use a big font that works well on the projector. Here are a few things I wish I could do: 1) Turn off syntax highlighting (already implemented) and programming-specific input (not enabled). When I just write a piece of text, it thinks I'm trying to write a message name. If I add a [, it adds the matching ]. Syntax highlighting and programming-specific input could be separate things, but they could also go together (i.e., you turn off one, then you turn off the other). For my use, I'd ideally want to switch off both highlighting and input help. 2) On a small note, when you turn off syntax highlighting, the workspace retains the current font. Ideally, it should switch everything to a black default font. 3) I'd like to be able to bold some text to make it appear like a heading (e.g., Assignment 3). With Squeak, you could just bring up the halos, get down to the text, and change the aspects. With halos gone, I don't know of a way to do this. Perhaps it would at least make sense to move some of that lost functionality to the contextual menu. 4) When I change the global font for workspace content, it does not affect existing workspaces. Considering how well the redecoration of system windows works, I'd expect that to work as well. 5) There are some awkward bits to the programming-specific input. Here's one that happens to me all the time. I have incorrectly placed the boundaries of a block. I delete the [ from the original location. I go to the new location to place it. I enter in [, but get []. To get what I want, I have to hit [, right arrow, and backspace. This is even worse for trying to add an extra ' to a place it is missing. I press ' and get ''. I find my cursor in the middle, so I hit backspace. Instead of deleting one ', it deletes both. Wouldn't it make more sense to have a backspace delete the automatic addition; that's the way most auto-correct systems work. So, [ + backspace produces [ and ' + backspace produces '. I think that would be more intuitive. Cheers, Jeff PS Overall, I'm pretty happy with Pharo. It definitely has fewer rough edges and a smoother interface than Squeak. That's important for my students.
