Hi, Nice work! I love the details you went through to implement this, especially given that the UI is just a custom inspector. Itâs naked objects on steroids :). I think this is a beautiful use case for moldable tools. It shows that once the cost of tools drops, unforeseen solutions will emerge. We need to focus on more support to make more things like this possible. Cheers, Doru

Hi,
I quickly wrote yet another small tool to work faster with Pharo. I call it "QuickAccess" - it's some kind of "ScriptManager 2.0" allowing you to quickly access actions (defined as code scripts) via Spotter, Menu, Button, etc.
You can load it from Spotter/Catalog in Pharo 5.0 beta.
The following video demonstrates how to use it:
The defined structure including the scripts can be exported to a file and send around. So far it is "complete" for my own requirements - if you feel something is missing you can contribute and help moving it forward.
The repo is at http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/QuickAccess Contact me with your STHub account if you need access.
The tool has some similarities with Playground/script cache, but GT tools lack the category structuring for scripts that you find in QuickAccess. It might be an inspiration for a future unified script management solution in Playground.
Have fun!
Bye T.
