You should not expect that -- Pharo used to have it but it was removed
in favor of a more mainstream editor look-and-feel -- so that it be
would more attractive to new users. Command+J / Control+J are just
two of several powerful code-editing capabilities Pharo originally
inherited from Squeak, along with my other favorites Command+E =
Exchange the last two selections and Command+[, (, {, or | = Surround
the highlighted text with that bracket-type pair. (not sure if those
are still there in Pharo).
Pharo favors _familiarity_ for new users somewhat at the cost of
productivity for its experienced users. It somewhat resembles eclipse
-- with pop-up dialogs and a seemingly "modal" philosophy. Squeak, by
constrast, has kept pushing the "simple-but-powerful" philosphy of its
IDE to near extremes. While it's less familiar for new uesrs, once
learned, general navigation and editing require _far fewer_ gestures.
