Halos in pharo 3

I have two related questions:

1. how does one bring up halos in the 3.0 image. I tried Cmd + Shift + two fingers (on my track pad), but nothing happens.

2. How does one get rid of the Pomodoro timers? I assumed I could use Halos - see question 1 - but maybe there is a better way?

Cheers

I think it depends a little bit on your platform. For Windows 7,
<Shift-Alt> works for me.

In Mac OS X lion, I press <Shift> then I can select multiple morphs with the halo. I use that to close multiple morphs at the same time.

I don't know on iPad however ..

Traditionally in Squeak, you could cycle through Morphs in either direction - from the topmost (e.g. a TextMorph in the Window) which is Alt-Shift-click on Mac, or bottom most parent (e.g. from the Window) which on Mac is Alt-click. Some people found the non-Shift version troublesome because they accidentally brought up halos.

So in Pharo by default, you can Alt-click. You can also re-enable the Alt-Shift-click direction via the settings browser: (World Menu->System->Settings). Text search on halos and then enable "Cycle both directions"

Thanks, that worked perfectly.

Except for me (Windows 7) this seems reversed from what you say in the
second paragraph. By default, I can only <Alt-Shift-click>. Enabling
"Cycle both directions" allows <Alt-click> to work. Although this
configuration seems to align with "Some people found the non-Shift
version troublesome because they accidentally brought up halos."

Just to confirm, operation of these for me aligns with what you said...
From top: <Alt-Shift-click> starts with the smallest/most-specific
morph with subsequent clicks grow out to the containing window.
From bottom: <Alt-click> starts at the window and subsequent clicks
narrow down into the smallest/most-specific morph.

Quite right... copy-paste error ;)
