The problem is not so much that Pharo has not shortcuts for everything, or that shortcuts are tricky to make or modify. The problem is that Pharo is a very complex environment, more complex than emacs and vim. It's very easy to create messy shortcut setups like emacs and vim.
Saying that yes sure it's possible but I do suspect that most Pharo devs are like me, love shortcuts but using mouse is just simpler. Hence why Pharo is no emacs/vim , thank God :D
But probably it will require for you to customize and create new shortcuts. After all emacs and vim users use their own personal shortcuts tailor made for their needs.
Hello!
Is it possible to get by using ONLY the keyboard in the standard development
components?
Here are some workflows that I frequently use and would like to perform
without mouse if possible:
1. Use Spotter to browse a class
2. Define a new method. That is, allow me to immediately focus the source
code editor so I can start typing a new method
or
1. Use Spotter to browse the implementation of a method
2. Edit its source code and accept
3. Now recategorize or rename or create new class etc etc. (the problem here
is that the source code editor will shadow all the shortcuts I normally have
in the browser, e.g CMD-M CMD-M would normally recategorize the method, but
now this brings up the implementors list instead.
Thanks!
