I think the original question was how to change one element from a collection by another one, in this case, replace a string by another one, by 'editing' an item, not to destructively modify a string (which would be a bad idea (tm)).
Inspect:
#('foo' 'bar') copy
Go to the Raw view, double-click 'foo', edit it and press Return to accept -> no go.
Normally, we can in-place edit by double-clicking, but that seems to be broken (well, you can edit but it won't accept the change).
Thanks for the more detailed description, Sven. Yes, editing strings like this is what I aim at. Could this be fixed, please? --Hannes
I tried this in my working 40 image, and in a recent 50 image.

Hi,
Strings are supposed to be immutable, and that is why we do not support editing by default :).
If you would want to provide editing tools for a String, you would need to create a new inspector extension. This would probably be a bit cumbersome because you would probably have to work with basic things like String>>at:put:.
A different way would be to not work with Strings directly, but with some wrapper objects that hold those strings. In this case, it would be easy to replace the wrapped string every time the editor changes.
Cheers, Doru

Hello
I am inspecting a collection of strings in Pharo 5.
I wonder how I get at an edit pane to modify a particular string?
Thank you for the answer in advance
