Some very basic questions.

Hello,

I am trying to learn Smalltalk off a book 'On To Smalltalk' with Squeak.
A couple of questions :

How can I swap button 2 and 3 ? (I am using Ubuntu)
How can I create a new method in the hierarchy browser ? I haven't figured that out yet !

Also, is there a piece of documentation for the Squeak interface, I may have missed it.

Thanks,
Pierre

Hi Pierre (ou Bonjour)

If you're using squeak I'll suggest you read the free book "squeak by example".
http://squeakbyexample.org/
http://squeakbyexample.org/fr/

For the mouse buttons swap, you have to open the preference widget and type swap in the research field. You should the be able to see the right preference.

hth,

Cheers,

Cédrick

> How can I create a new method in the hierarchy browser ? I haven't figured

It is very easy, but seems to be hard for first-time users to guess.

Go to any method, and just replace the text.  Double-click at the
beginning or end of the method and all the text will be selected, then
you can just type over it.  When you "accept" a method and the name is
different from the previous name, the browser will create a new method
rather than replace the old one.  In fact, it is harder than you might
think to change the name of a method.  You can't change a method's
name or delete it by just typing over the method definition.  You have
to use a menu item.

In most browsers, if no method is selected then the browser displays a
template for a method.  You can create a new method by typing over
this template and accepting it.

I would start with Squeak by Example. On to Smalltalk would be a great second book as SBE will introduce the little nuances of the Squeak UI.
