where can I find the prefences so I make the meta-click workable

Hello, According to the Pharo by exampkle tutorial I have to do system > preferences to see the menu where I can change the keyboard to make a meta-click work, But there is no preferences choice. I have looked at system > settings > system but also there no keyboard. Does anyone know where the menu is hidden or what the meta-click is on Windows 7. I tried already alt-ctrl, shift-alt, shift-ctrl but no luck. Roelof

Re: [Pharo-users] [ANN] Application Security for your domains
by Andy Burnett March 28, 2014

March 28, 2014

á§ <<< Hello guys, I'm doing a double announcement here. First, a new blog about development with Pharo, and Smalltalk: http://80738163270632.blogspot.com.ar/ Second, my first entry contains a post about Application Security, a new package to make Pharo applications more secure. You can start playing with the objects right now, while more documentation is being written for the next release. >>> That's great! I think it would be wonderful if we could - collectively - develop a really secure base framework. There was some interesting discussion of this topic, regarding clojure, on HN ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7472841) It made me wonder how secure Pharo/Seaside/Aidaweb etc are in comparison. Couple of minor points: 1. The blog doesn't seem to have an RSS feed. At least, not one that Feedly can find. Is there a setting you can turn on? 2. The correct link to the package is: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~hernan/ApplicationSecurity Cheers Andy

March 28, 2014

I created a ConfigurationOfArtie ( http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~SergiReyner/Artie) that loads Bootstrap, Magritte3, Pillar and ApplicationSecurity. IÂ´d like it to load some other packages like Magritte-Seaside or Bootstrap-Magritte. How to tell it to do so with Versionner? Cheers, Sergi

Hi guys :) I am glad to announce (even if Philippe already let the cat out :P) a website dedicated to Spec: http://spec.st.

Re: [Pharo-users] new website about Artefact

Iâve heard some interest in porting Artefact to Gemstone. There is one trait that can be replaced by a method further up the hierarchy. Stephan

Is there any interest or plan in porting Artefact to other Smalltalk dialects?Â I image there would be few dependencies to deal with, like UnitValue. I've worked with PDF4Smalltalk on VW, but porting it proved be a challenge because of namespace collisions (it has classes Boolean, Integer, Date, etc). Â Thanks, Bob Nemec
