Whole class hierarchy in System Browser

Hi,

Is there a way I can browse the whole class hierarchy in the SystemBrowser?
I mean, a big tree with Object (or ProtoObject as its root) without having to filter branches it by categories.

I have two groups of categories (one starting with T and the other one with G) and the names are too separated in the list. Clicking back and forth is a real hassle.

Thank you!

I click in the world morph, and the menu says "System Browser". It
open Nautilus though.

The version is: Pharo2.0 of 7 March 2013 update 20600

It does what I want. I mean, I can see the whole hierarchy.
But isn't this procedure more like a workaround?
I mean...
1. Find Class
2. Type Object
3. Click Hierarchy

And that wouldn't be too bad, but...
4. ...as soon as I click in another class name (outside of the
Kernel-Objects category, grayed) it takes A LOT(*) to switch to the
selected class.

(*) In terms of responsiveness, compared to switching to another class
in the same category which is slick.

The groups options is the closest I found to what I wanted. Thank you!

It needs maintenance though, everytime I add a class It must be added
to the group.


Am I asking for something too esoteric?

I worked long time with other Smalltalk dialects and it takes a while
to get used to each one ergonomy and tools, but the class
browser/system browser is, usually, the most straightforward tool in
the environment.

Does exist a "best practices" guide for Pharo?


Thank you again!
