Can you tell me why you don't have to select "ProfStef go." before right
clicking it. I had gotten the impression that to execute any Smalltalk
statement you always have to select it first.

I just checked, the "right click -> do it" only works if at least the cursor is somewhere on the statement. I normally do a cmd-D (macOS) in these situations though. But AFAIK it���s not necessary to select the whole statement. If the cursor is somewhere else in the editor the ���right click -> do it��� does not work as expected. I think the editor should maybe put the cursor in the position where you right click. But that is more of a preference. I think if you get used to that behaviour then you probably don���t even think about it.

Coming from most common coding editors, I find the editors in Pharo a bit quirky. But I (we?) probably get used to it. I did check online how some people use external editors and I think it���s not worth the hassle. It���s not as straightforward programming as I���m used to. And, I think if you use an external editor you miss the ���immersion��� of the environment.

Cheers,
Richard
