Hi All,
   I've been using Pharo intensively for the first time, Pharo 7. Forgive me for starting with a complaint, but I don't have time to state all the things that are great about it; you already now ;-)
One thing I find painful is the positioning of the debugger into/over/through buttons. Because these are above the context list, and you read the code like I do, one has to mouse further to reach them. I find my focus is on the highlighted method, and my cursor is typically within it (I'm dong implementors, or senders, or just looking at the code). Further, there's lots of space between the Source tab and the "Where Is?" and "Browse" buttons. Doesn't it make more sense to put the into/over/through buttons between the Source tab and the "Where Is?" button? If not, doesn't it make sense to put a copy of the buttons there where they're in much easier reach?
I agree with you in all your remarks, and IMO not only the buttons position is suboptimal, also their shortcuts. But AFAIR this was discussed some time ago when the GTDebugger was set as the default debugger. But the discussion was settled to "you can create your own". Which I don't like, but it's fair enough. :) Regards! -- Esteban A. Maringolo
