Re: [Pharo-users] [DesktopManager] Ctlr - D (do-it) is blocked after installation of desktop manager

by H. Hirzel

Hello Torsten Thank you for the explanation. How can I de-activate the ctrl-D shortcut for the Desktop manager for the time being? I'd like ctrl-D only execute the 'do -it'. Hitting 'ctrl-D' twice with the desktop manager installed did not work for some reason. And it is inconvenient. Because do-it is a much more frequent operation for me than switching the desktop.

Gofer loads wrong version?

by Herby VojÄÃk

Hello! As I need to load specific version of Glorp with my fix, and I did not find out how to force-override it in my baseline, I tried to load it post-the-baseline via Gofer: (Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'DBXTalk' project: 'Glorp') package: 'Glorp'; version: 'Glorp-HerbyVojcik.127'; load. But it actually looks like this: [see attached bogusgofer.png]. OTOH, after the image loads the tests pass and monticello browser looks like this: [see attached mbloaded127.png]. Am I doing something wrong? I am a bit afraid what is actually loaded / if it won't break b/c of inconsistent state. Herby

Re: [Pharo-users] Write documentation with wiki like syntax -- how do I activate the rendering?

by H. Hirzel

P.S. wiki syntax rendering does not work in a) an image where Pillar is not installed. b) an image where Pillar is installed. Should <wikiStyleHelp> work in Pharo 6.0/6.1 or is the implementation planned for a later version? On 9/4/17, H.

Re: [Pharo-users] [DesktopManager] Ctlr - D (do-it) is blocked after installation of desktop manager

by Tim Mackinnon

Interesting, but how is it that Ctrl-B works for Browse and is also a meta key for Ctrl-B + Ctlr+N? I think there is a a way to support both - whether its worth it is another question (and I suspect the complication of supporting it might not be worthwhile, and some of the old key combinations like Ctrl-B and Ctrl-N might need deprecating as there are meta key equivalents as when I looked through the existing code it is quite complicated and in need of a cleanup).

Write documentation with wiki like syntax -- how do I activate the rendering?

by H. Hirzel

Hello The Pharo 6.1 help system has an entry 'Write documentation with wiki like syntax' [1] If I follow these instructions my book named 'The name of the book I want to write' appears in as an entry in the list. But the wiki content is not rendered. Which additional steps are needed so that the wiki content is rendered? I want to get a result such as the 'Welcome to Pharo 6' page, see screen shot. Thank you for the answer in advance. Hannes [1] Usage: - Create a class-side method on the class you want to put documentation. - Add the pragma <wikiStyleHelp:> with the title of the book as parameter - The method should answer the documentation as a String (using Pier syntax. See http://www.piercms.com/doc/syntax ). Example: MyClass class>>aMethod <wikiStyleHelp: #'The name of the book I want to write'> ^ ' ! Section 1 Some text for this section !! Subsection 1.1 !!! Subsection 1.1.1 !! Subsection 1.2 ! Section 2'

[DesktopManager] Ctlr - D (do-it) is blocked after installation of desktop manager

by Torsten Bergmann

Hi Hannes, The desktop manager uses "key combinations" always starting with CTRL+D (like "Desktop") so one can easily remember the possibilities: CTRL + D followed by CTRL + DââââDesktop Displayâ to display and switch between all desktops CTRL + D followed by CTRL + AââââDesktop Addâ to add a new desktop CTRL + D followed by CTRL + NââââDesktop Nextâ to go to next desktop CTRL + D followed by CTRL + PââââDesktop Previousâ to go to previous desktop CTRL + D followed by CTRL + BââââDesktop Backgroundâ to choose a background CTRL + D followed by CTRL + FââââDesktop Fullscreenâ to switch fullscreen option as can be seen in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpLY7uQnPsg but unfortunately CTRL+D ("single key") is also used for the "do it" in a playground. As the shortcut handler of the desktop manager is only triggered when the full key sequence is pressed the code can only check if the active hand is in an editor and allow the do it then. At least that is the only solution I've found to this problem so far. This leads to the unfortunate effect you have to press CTRL+D twice in the playground once the desktop manager is loaded. But nonetheless the "do it" is still possible - you only have to hit CTRL+D twice in the playground. Hope this helps! Bye T.

Hello In Pharo 6.1 what is the difference between the 'do-it' (ctrl d) and 'do-it and go menu entry in the playground (see screen shot)? Regards Hannes
