Code Completion in Pharo

Hi to all,

thank you so very much for all of the advices and suggestions to make it work. I'll do my best.

Stef,

I understand what you mean in the first message but I didn't understand the added part, where you explain the navigation. If you could explain some more, please?

The -recognizing the whole selector- part but also these code expanding shortcuts you described (as well as writing rse and getting RubSmalltalkEditor as a suggestion) is now my priority to make them work.

I would love also to have

it -> ifTrue: [ | cursor here ]

and also even if this is not strictly about completion
selector: navigation

| self at: key ifAbsent:
then
self |at: key ifAbsent:
then
self at:| key ifAbsent:
then
self at: key |ifAbsent:

This is not related to code completion per se.
I would like to able to navigate based on word instead of characters.

| is a cursor pressing tab or something else move it to the right

This is already possible with cmd + -> / cmd + <-
