Re: [Pharo-users] MethodName

But, if I want to search the method that sending to an object 'aaa' answers me 'AAA', it is not intuitive to type: 'aaa' . 'AAA' . so....this should be explained somewhere. Maybe you can add a text explaining this (like it was in the previous tool) in the code panel. Because when you first open MethodName, the code panel is empy...you can use is and write there the text. Of course, an extra button help would be nice too :)

> 5) This one is difficult to explain....Take method name and type in the serach inpit: 'aaa' . 'AAA'. Hit serach and you will see 'aaa' asUppercase -> 'AAA' listed in the left panel. If you click EVERYWHERE inside that panel, the first one is selected. Thus, it is easy and fast becasue you DONT need to go the the first raw and mark it. Ok?

> Now....do the same but write "setUp". You will see several methods that match that. Select any of them, and in the right panel you will have a list. A lot of times, there is one implementor. And of course you want that....but doing the same of the previous case doesn't work. You have to go exactly to that raw in order to select it.
