It doesn't replace Algernon yet, in my opinion. They are similar tools, and maybe, this tool will eventually replace Algernon. But, so far, for me thay are still complementary tools. When I want to search a class or a method of a class I think that with Algernon is quicker. It has the autocompletion, and you can also open that class in a new browser or in the last used. In addition, it lets you see the methods, categories, and other stuff. Romain: If you want to try algernon, at least to get ideas, evaluate: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfAlgernon'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfAlgernon) project lastVersion load. Once, installed, jut shift + enter On Wed, Jan 13, 2010 at 8:50 AM, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr

Yes! Many thanks Romain, I wanted something like that for the past 6
months (cf ESUG'09 ;))
It's good to see that now, dev tools are also starting to move.
Two remarks: - it seems like it replaces a bit Algernon in its features and user
interaction. Am I right? Is this intended?
hum ... I didn't try Algernon, actually. What I know is that it replaces my antique "Teleporter", which was included in BrowserBooster.
- do you plan to have multiple working sets (only one being active at any time)? This would allow one for switching between different contexts/projects while working in a image, and perhaps even sharing with other users (a bit like Mylyn)
Yes, that would be nice. It's on the radar :-)
Future work: integration in the browser :)
How do you envision that? I tried to not be too browser-specific, as these things are moving targets.
I would not integrate that in browser because it makes the state machine of this brittle tools brittler and like that you can focus on working set functionality vs browser bugs :)

Dear list,
I've been working on a small tool to help people navigate their code in
Pharo.
WorkingSet tracks the entities you've changed recently, and lets you access them quickly.
Load WorkingSet with: Gofer new squeaksource: 'WorkingSet'; package: 'WorkingSet'; load.
Once loaded, press CMD-1 to activate or dismiss it. A User interface pops up, with the following key mappings: -H to get this help message. -1-9 to select a recently changed class or method (depending on which list is highlighted). -TAB to select methods, or the text field. -Left/Right arrow keys to select classes, methods, or text field. -Up/Down arrow keys to select an item in the list of classes or methods. -ENTER in the text field to navigate to the entity you typed. -ENTER or SPACE in a class or method list to select the selected item. -U to browse the users of an entity (methods: senders, classes: references). -S to browse the siblings of an entity (methods: implementors, classes: hierarchy). -K to close all windows opened by WorkingSet. -L & R to shift the WorkingSet window left or right. (in case you use several screens). -ESC or CMD-1 to dismiss WorkingSet.
The text field allows you to enter classes and methods which are not present in your working set. You can enter multiple classes/methods at once by separating them with spaces.
Enjoy! Romain -- Romain Robbes http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/robbes
