You should not expect that -- Pharo used to have it but it was removed in favor of a more mainstream editor look-and-feel -- so that it be would more attractive to new users. Command+J / Control+J are just two of several powerful code-editing capabilities Pharo originally inherited from Squeak, along with my other favorites Command+E = Exchange the last two selections and Command+[, (, {, or | = Surround the highlighted text with that bracket-type pair. (not sure if those are still there in Pharo).
Now what would be really cool is to have a documentation about all those, and make them easily discoverable. I worked with Squeak long enough, and didn't saw anything close to that. I said that it is 'command-g' instead 'command-j' exactly because of that, because you never know... And for me it was always felt like: - let user discover shortcuts by pressing random key combinations and see what happens. And then tell me, what are the chances that people will understand what exactly cmd-j does without reading documentation? In 99% of cases it will be 'oh.. what was just happen' .. This is about "more attractive". And if you hiding knowledge behind sealed doors, don't be surprised that someone will come and build a new library with open doors, replacing yours.
You didn't look hard enough -- it's under the "help" menu. Squeak 3.0 is the earliest I have on my HD but.. yes, it was there then and its still there now. Ok, I know you just forgot we miss you too Igor. ;) I admire Pharo blazing new trails but notice a pattern in some of the "gold" feedback from Pharo customers which worth taking to heart. Like: http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2012-May/064702.html
This is, what i think, happens with shortcuts changes in Pharo, except form those which was remapped.
Pharo favors _familiarity_ for new users somewhat at the cost of productivity for its experienced users. It somewhat resembles eclipse -- with pop-up dialogs and a seemingly "modal" philosophy. Squeak, by constrast, has kept pushing the "simple-but-powerful" philosphy of its IDE to near extremes. While it's less familiar for new uesrs, once learned, general navigation and editing require _far fewer_ gestures.
Another thing, is that i first time hear that pharo is in favor of newcomers at expense of experienced users. I am not involved in changes to key bindings / shortcuts, but i doubt that people, who doing that, making changes having such strange aim. I think they are focused on making it good for newcomers and experienced users both. Otherwise i don't see much sense in doing this at all, and would be first who will be against it.
Ok, glad to hear that. I would rather have the best system possible than one with the most mainstream acceptance.
