Hi, Thanks. Indeed, I noticed that too. I added a mentioning of the shortcut at the beginning of the post.

Hi, This is really great - one minor thing - I didnât know how to launch the search screen until I accidentally hit cmd+enter (muscle memory from another IDE). Would be nice to explain cmd+enter to launch in the description page.

Hi, Here is another article I just published LampSort, a non-recursive QuickSort implementation The divide and conquer partitioning is at the heart of QuickSort https://medium.com/@svenvc/lampsort-a-non-recursive-quicksort-implementatio… Pharo makes it easy to implement this non-recursive version of QuickSort - and beautiful as well.
