In older versions of Squeak pharo - I think alt-click would cycle you through halos on objects in the UI.
I have noticed in Pharo 3/4 - if I ctrl+shift click I get a menu that has many options, one of which is "add halo" - but how do I control which UI element I will get a halo on? Similarly - there is "inspect" in this menu, and it does give me a list of widgets (saying deepest first) - however I can't easily see which element corresponds with what is in the list?
I know the old squeak halo system wasn't favoured - but now I try and find things in Pharo 3/4 - I miss the ability to visually cycle through items to understand what I can inspect?
Is there no way to do this now? It was very useful.

You can definitely get halos with one mouse click, but the exact modifier-keys may differ between platforms. On Windows, the Alt doesn't work upfront. You require Shift-Alt, but if you release the shift while continuing to hold Alt you can reverse the cycle. On OSX it is Shift-Option. cheers -ben
