The Trunk: Morphic-cmm.452.mcz

commits-2
Chris Muller uploaded a new version of Morphic to project The Trunk:
http://source.squeak.org/trunk/Morphic-cmm.452.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Morphic-cmm.452
Author: cmm
Time: 2 July 2010, 7:21:27.827 pm
UUID: 256fdb5f-e51a-463a-94b1-05ca25e3c8bd
Ancestors: Morphic-eem.451

Removed Command+, command-key from enclosing in <>'s for the following reasons:

        1) It is already correctly handled by Control+[comma].  There is little or no need for this enclosing character to exist at all in SmalltalkEditor, in particular because Squeak has Seaside which eliminates the need to type a lot of HTML enclosing brackets.  But to _overload_ this command with two separate hot-key combinations is insane.
        2) Control+[surround key] is universally consistent for the shifted enclosing characters, e.g., $(, ${.  $< should follow suit.  $[, on the other hand, is not shifted on the keyboard, and therefore uses the standard Command key, not Control.
        3) It's a pain in the ass.  I'm finally fed up because, every day, I am accidently hitting the , (comma) key when I mean to only hit the Command key to browse senders, or "do it" or save a method.

Unnecessary, inconsistent, overloaded, and painful.  Whew!  Goodbye and good riddance.

$[, on the other hand, is not shifted on the keyboard, [...]

at least if "the keyboard" happens to have an us-keyboard layout ...
In general I don't see a great benefit for the whole Squeak community in having hardcoded platform-language centric shortcuts.
