Yes, you right, shortcuts were quite hidden. However, after we received a lot of similar feedback we improved the situation with shortcuts. Now all actions in Spotter have explicit action buttons:

Cool. When I was looking at a results category down the page, I didn't notice the icon at the top (in the image shown next to 16/16) or in advance understand that it would move if I clicked in the category. I can understand the logic that it indicates which category the shortcut will apply to, however...��
* I'm not really going to be looking at a graphic UI component when using shortcut.�� I'll "just know" what it applies to.
* To use the shortcut on other than the first category, it takes two actions: mouse-click the category *then* use the shortcut.�� If the icon appeared on each category, it would only need one action to just click the icon. �� (After I wrote this I see Sean had a similar issue, so I know its late. but can Pharo 4 get that icon per category, rather than just on the top category?)



As soon as you press "shift" (you can't not to press shift during usage of spotter) all action buttons are highlighted explicitly:

Nice feature, but actually I don't notice myself using <Shift> a lot (maybe I am under utilising the shortcuts) so this is catch-22 [1] - the feature may go unnoticed for newbies.�� Perhaps where the text entry is seeded with "Search", this could accommodate a tip more like "Search - hold shift to show functions/tooltips"��

If you hover action button for a few second a hint appears that tells which shortcut is assigned to an action. If you hover the button while pressing shift a hint appears immediately:

Also, in Pharo help there is a good tutorial listing all Spotter shortcuts and assigned actions:

This is good, but not immediately discoverable. Perhaps a button on the settings page could link to that page?��

Just a note, I went back to an old image and really miss the Spotter workflow.

One thing, can you remind me how when it shows 5/30 implementors I get a list of all 30?�� I'm sure I've done this before but can't remember.�� Perhaps this means its not obvious and maybe should appear in a "How To Use" section in the Release Notes.
