I agree - the keyboard shortcuts will work for the initiated, but are not a replacement for the obvious menu entries that even experienced Smalltalkers from other versions will be missing in Pharo. 

I think it is important to keep the entry barriers low in terms of not hiding useful functionality that people will be used to from other environments.

This was actually implemented in older versions of Pharo (or Squeak), the browser also included very handy buttons in the middle to save precious clicks.

The right thing to do is to replace the "..." non-sense with the selected method selector, and to offer another menu item which displays all method selectors of the currently selected method, and let the user to decide which one to browse.

Something I have not figured out how to do easily in the Pharo system
browser:
I am looking at a method and want to see how a message that is used in this
method is implemented. In other Smalltalks (e.g. Cincoms) I use the menu
item "Implementors of..." and get a list of all the messages that are used
in this method and can choose one to drill down.
In Pharo I get an immediate answer but only the implementors of my original
method.
Why are there those "..." at  the end of this menu item indicating some
further choice when there is none?
How to do this drilling down in Pharo?
