Put the string in the Workspace. Highlight it. Summon the menu with do
it/print it. Scroll down to the bottom where it says "more". Select. Scroll
down to "method with source". Voila.

There are a lot of ways, depending on what you are looking for.
Hilinght some text in a browser, workspace, or any other text
editor in squeak, and explore the right-click menu

implementors: shows all methods that could respond if you send a
message with the hilgighted name
senders: shows all methods that send the hilighted message at
some point

These are the two most common things you want to search for, and
they have shortcuts: cmd-m and cmd-n, respectively. Try typing
'new', select it , and try all the options

you can seach for an arbitrary string in all code by the menu
item 'method source with it', under the 'more...' menu.

other useful search tools
In the system browser, put the mouse over the top-left pane and
press cmd-f to find a class by name

in the world > open menu, there is the method finder, which lets
you search methods by name or example input/output

Much faster is pressing Cmd-Shift-E (or "method strings with ir" from  
the menu) which only looks at string literals..

Very cool! That is so much faster. It's instantaneous.
Thanks.

Indeed. A cool trick if you want to find the implementation behind a  
menu item: bring up the menu, shift-click the item, press Cmd-Shift-E :)

Whoa. I thought you were just being polite, saying something that just
re-enforced what you'd already said. I skimmed over your email.

It's the early morning when all real computer science gets done. For no real
reason, hours and hours later, I re-read your email, and realized I hadn't
caught what you were saying at all. Bert, that IS a cool trick!

HAHAHA!!  You know I was thinking the same thing too when I read this.  Wow

The shift-click does not seem to do anything on 3.9 on XP (for me, anyway).
Could it be some other magic keys on XP?

Posting (pointers to) such gems is invaluable to newbies like me (and
apparently to non-so-newbies too). More would be always welcome :)

To do Bert's neat trick on Vista (and so I'm assuming XP) with Squeak 3.9 do
the following. Click on the background and call the World menu (or any
menu). Scroll down to open (or whatever). Put your finger on the shift key,
and then hit the left mouse button. The word "open" appears twice, once in
red. Then Alt-Shift-E. A browser comes up with all methods with the string
of the menu name "open". Apparently everything's an object... :)

Menu editing (which is what Shift-click is supposed to do) seems
to have been disabled in UIEnhancements. Are you using a new
squeak-dev image? If so, it probably has UIEnhancements. It
works for me on vanilla 3.9, but not under squeak-dev

Ah, thanks. Yes, I do have UIEnhancements.
