Automatically (OB?) run class methods?

Hi Mariano,

Before I propose the test integration in system browser a few years ago, people used a lot comments like "self debug: #testFoo".
Adding the command cmd-T greatly reduced these kind of comment.

Probably a kind of "send" like method will help reduce these kind of comment.

As Lukas said, I personally often select the method body. But it happens that the method body is larger than the code pane, which requires too much time to select.

Cheers,
Alexandre
