Patrik,
For me the CTL-m, CTL-n, and CTL-b are your greatest friends:
- CTL-m gives you _implementors_ of the selected message (can select message in method in browser and args are ignored) - CTL-n gives you _senders_ - CTL-b looks up and browses the class
'find class' is the other menu item that I use often as you can type in a partial name (doesn't use regex) and prompts you with list of class names ...
Finally I use 'search method source with it' where I select a substring and then get a list of all the methods with the substring. Depending upon which version of Pharo you are using, this menu item is hidden ... (I've found that the Transcript consistently has this menu item...WTF).
cmd+shift+e ? Ben
I'm pretty sure that there are other ways, but I bounce around in some many dialects and so many versions of the dialects, that I can't keep track of the "coolest new way for doing things"...
