Good observations! Shortcuts in general are shown under System > Keymap browser. You can move from pane to pane with left and right arrows, this can be set under Pharo Settings (ctrl-o-s). From methods pane you can even go to the code editing pane (for the selected method) by pressing right arrow. However, once you are there, you cannot move back, even if you assign a different key combination to move between panes. Or is there a magic key which can escape..? Ctrl-f is now tied to 'Choose a class' action, it would be convenient if one could jump to filter packages/classes directly from packages or classes pane. And a way to open subpackages ... How to reach classes / instances etc radio buttons in the middle of Calypso window is also unknown to me, although some of these modes are accessible with certain key combinations - but not from the code editing pane. If you navigate from the code editing pane to other tabs (ctrl-1 for the first tab, ctrl-2 for the second etc), it's impossible to get the editing pane properly selected again without the mouse.
Pharo has been working to consolidate these - still ongoing. If someone can provide a lead in to the related definitions for Calypso's <CTRL-F>, <TAB> & <CTRL-TAB> perhaps experiment with it and propose a PR.
This would be great. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
