Hi Greg - meta is the Cmd key on a Mac. So you type cmd-shift-f for reformat code in a method, cmd-s to save. There are some chorded keys - eg cmd-b cmd-m (keep holding the cmd then press b followed by m) to browse implementers of the selected method. On Linux the meta key is Ctrl (just an FYI) While discussing keystrokes - a less obvious but very useful one is shift-enter to get the spotter (sort of like the Macâs spotlight but for code) All of this is in the help documentation - Help | Help Browser | Pharo Environment Help. But happy to get you started, as itâs frustrating if the basics arenât working for you. Tim Sent from my iPhone

Tim and Ben,
Thanks for your help. Sorry for not being clear. When I said "I just can't get keyboard shortcuts to work on Mac," what I should have said is "I just can't get Pharo-specific shortcuts to work on the Macintosh implementation of Pharo" (6.1 is what I'm using BTW).
Maybe I should have said "keymap shortcuts"? I'm talking about things like Meta+Shift+f for 'find class', and Meta+x, Meta+m for 'remove method'.
I've looked for what the definition of Meta is for Mac OS. All I can find is meta-click is Shift+Option+click, but that doesn't seem to work. Option + <many keys> gives "special characters" like â, Ã, and Å.
I hope that now you can simply say, "Oh, of course, what you need to do isâ¦". Thanks!
I just can't get keyboard shortcuts to work on Mac. I?ve tried a lot of stuff, more than I can list here. Here are some things I?ve tried:
* searching the Pharo by Example book * turning off all Mac keyboard-macro programs * switching from extended to standard US keyboard * looking at options in System Preferences > Keyboard
If you?re on the Mac, do you have this problem? If so, what?s your solution? Thanks!
