Shortcut to "Browse Class"

101 posts

Hi all,

As an absolute beginner, when using a workspace, most of the times I
don't know the type of the value returned by a piece of code or its
methods. So I have to select the value, right-click on it, from the
menu (BTW is there a name for this menu?), select "Explore" and then
select "Browse Class" or "Browse Full". Is there a shortcut to this
functionality?

TIA,

If you select a class name in the workspace, you can do Cmd+b/ctrl+b to browse it.

Otherwise you can send browse to any object to browse its class :)

OSX: Cmd-DoubleClick on the name

Win: Select the name, Ctrl-Enter

Both: Cmd-b / Alt-b (the letters on the right of the menu entries are the shortcuts (screenshot attached for Pharo2.0, there have been changes in 3.0)

Also: OSX: Cmd-n Cmd-m / Win: Alt-n Alt-m (Senders of it, Implentors of it)

Also have a look at the downward pointing triangle at the top right of the browser (Nautilus) and check the shortcuts list in the menu.

For me it works with a single click
